Today was interesting. I went to see with my own eyes and ears the court hearing for the town supervisor.

There was just lawyer conv with judge as well
As the d a present for the conv. There didn't appear to be conflict. The supervisors lawyer seemed to be the presenter of conv and the da seemed ok with whatever transpired.
End story the order of protection was reduced to allow him to return to his position and be at board meetings. I do find this a little odd unless something changed to reduce it. The tension at the next board will most likely be high.
I do think anyone questioning or concerned about this outcome which can be perceived a few different ways to go to the board meeting.

Sadly I find it wrong to dismiss a charge unless it was agreed upon both parties. This seems to invalidate the people who were put in the situation.
I will be at the board. Join me and let me know how you feel about what transpires.
On a side note it will go to another court to be heard.

Tonight I watched the board work as a board! The air was lighter, many people spoke basically all were clapped for expressing their thoughts, all given their time and was listened to.
The board discussed, shared concerns and talked openly about their views if there was discussion about any topics needing to be addressed. Different ideas were heard, and it seemed all worked in the same direction, figuring out how to get there, they will discuss.
Let’s keep the positivity, the respect for all future meetings!
