Shelby councilman echoes frustrations with current town government
Editor:
I commend John Pratt’s honesty and echo his frustration about how the Town of Shelby is being run. Everything and more that John said is true.
The town’s advisors have, on more than one occasion, provided inaccurate information to the board and the community. This has influenced certain voting decisions, causing board members to unknowingly support resolutions contrary to their views.
Not only have consultants provided misleading, and at times, untruthful information to both the board and the public, but certain officials have also exerted undue influence over them. It’s concerning that taxpayer dollars, which should be directed towards the betterment of our community, are being used for questionable purposes under such influences.
I believe in real transparent governance, not just loose references to it, and feel it’s our duty to keep the public informed of these alarming developments. The integrity of our town’s operations is at stake, and I urge Shelby’s citizens to stay vigilant and hold those in power accountable.
Ed Zelazny
Shelby Town Councilman
