EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES
Approximately three weeks ago, I could not find the Town Council agenda for the following Tuesday’s meeting. I called the Town Manager, Diane Barnes, and asked her for the location. She informed me that the Town had changed the location on the Town website. I asked her why the website was only partly changed and she informed me that it was because a contract stopped and that the person who was responsible for the website was on vacation that week.
