The filing period is in February for three positions of Town Board of Trustees. There are two full terms and then one to fill the remaining term of the recently vacated position. The dynamics of the board could really change for the better or the people’s vote will be banal and status quo will prevail. It is time for you to challenge yourself to step up to the plate and make a positive impact for Buffalo. Encourage someone to run for office. Vote for the best candidates for that office. This should not be a popularity contest. These are demanding positions and they deserve to be occupied by persons willing to commit lots of time and put forth honest efforts toward the issues that will be encountered.
Also the Town Treasure's position is coming up. That would be an excellent one to see challenged. It pays very well too.
Buss and Harper are the two Trustees that do not have to run for office. Linda does not run for office this time either.
Is anyone out there up for the challenge? Who is willing to stick their neck out?
