Report Inappropriate Comments

I was cut off when posting a comment and am trying once again;I think more transparency is necessary in the library Boaqrd. I asked to see the current budget and what the salary was of the Director and had to file a Freedom of Information demand with the attorney for the the recent budget now being replaced and the salary of the Direcdtor when I read a appareently unreliable comment from one of the incumbent library trustees on the ballot tomorrow. He said the Director made less than a teacher. The office of the RVC Superintendant stated the range of salaries for teachers in between at the top less than $120,000 as I recallo. The Direcdtor supplied her salary and confirmed hers was now over $127,500 per annum which did not include perks. While the Director earns more than $127,000 per annum plus perks, I think it is too large an amount for such a small community library- The Sunday hours being eliminated, I am informed will cost $55,000 per annum. This Director can be part timer (especially since she seems to be out of the office many days when I try to reach her) and the savings can permit Sunday to remain open , especially when it is the only day for some parents which they can take their children to the library with them and help them use that time for their school work as well. I think that there are many other economies thatg should be looked up and made available to the tax payers. I also have asked to be able to reach the trustees and they fail to give a number or return calls when messages are left with the Director. I decided to run for trustee and will respond to the calls and suggestions of the taxpayers - have been and am an attorney in a number of states including NY and a part time arbitrator-My career is built on solving tax payer and client needs. Thank you for letting me participate in this posting.Bill Victor
