Councilman McGivney spoke about his concerns with having no time to review the changes and feels very apprehensive about passing this budget and is worried about not having had the time to review these changes. Supervisor Frazier also cited that he was elected to take the town in a different direction and feels he had done that in his version that was solid, with support from the public, and a clear message not to fund a library in Union Vale and is concerned about passing a budget prepared by Councilman Cartalemi.
