"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Crying Foul Doesn't Cut It

In many ways ,Aurora Historical Society is like any other volunteer organization . members come and members go.

Some make a lifetime commitment and nothing is too much because theirs is a passion.

Preservation of  heritage was more than a volunteer commitment. It called for a partnership.

Without the town's financial support little of what was accomplished could have been.

Without the Historical Society's volunteer man-hours ,town resources could never have been enough.

The relationship  has been mutually respectful  and beneficial to the community.

Mr.Albino's methods to accomplish his objective have not been respectful.

His vision is not shared by all.

Those opposed have been as determined  as he has been devious.

He started the fight. He chose the weapons.

At the end , he went a step further and jumped in to politics with both feet.

Let him put his name on a ballot and take the question to the real authority.

The people who pay the bills in this town.

All of them.

Not just the ones who know no limits.

In answer to a question: The meeting was public. I heard from several sources.

Had I wanted to be present, the building is not accessible in the finest weather. With snow pack to the door and no attempt to clear a path, it was even less welcoming.

If anything cited here was incorrect .please clarify.

Interesting. No one has stepped forward to correct you.

Your "report" wasn't qualified. It read like a first-person account, which is misleading.

Why should a description be ' qualified ' for you ?
