WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

No Longer A Rumor!: Supervisor Catalino & The Town Board Are Supporting (By Not Opposing) The Housing Of Paroled Sex Offenders At Green Gables (Route 5 & Bennett Road)!! Do We Really Want Convicted Sex Offenders A Few Hundred Feet From Our High School & Little League Facilities? What Is Supervisor Catalino And The Town Board Thinking? They Can’t Be Thinking About The Welfare Of The Women And Children Of This Town! How Can They Allow Convicted Sex Offenders To Be Housed So Closes To The Town’s Schools And Little League Fields Without Putting Up A Big Fight? When First Questioned On This Issue, The Town Board Denied Knowing About This. Now, Their Attitude Is, Oh Well, There’s Nothing We Can Do To Stop It. Besides, Those Sex Offenders Being Housed Will Be Bed And Wheel Chair Ridden. The Only Thing That Is For Certain Is That If The Town Board Does Not Fight These Proposals, Residents Will Suffer The Consequences For Years To Come.

One Resident Stated That This Might Not Be A Big Problem Because All Convicted Sex Offenders Have To Be Registered. But Think About It. If Your Kid At The Fire Hall, Little League Fields Or Even Chick’s Restaurant, How Will Your Child Know If He/She Is In The Company Of A Convicted Sex Offender? There Won’t Be Any Tattoos On Their Foreheads Saying “Registered Sex Offender”!

 A Town Resident, Who Is A Parole Officer, Told The Town Board That These Convicted Sex Offenders Will Arrive In Wheel Chairs But After A Few Weeks They Will Recover To The Point Where They Will Be Able To “Walk Around Town”!

 There Is A Place For These Facilities But Not At Locations So Close To Our Schools And Little League Fields. If This Town Board Can’t Fight This Fight, Maybe In November We Can Elect Candidates Who Will Be Willing To Take Up This Fight. We Should Be Informed By The Town Board Of These Type Of Issues Facing Our Town. Residents Should Not Have To Attend Town Board Meetings To Confirm These Rumors And The Rest Of Us Should Not Find Out About These Issues By Reading Chuck Militello’s Letters In The Angola Penny Saver.
