Sour grapes, rotten apples

| 29 Mar 2021 | 02:09

    Recently against the advice of their own lawyers and working hand in glove, the Village of Warwick Planning Board and the Village Zoning Board of Appeals voted to uphold the position of the building inspector on the site plan approval for 16 Elm Street.

    Two separate votes by two separate boards discouraged by two separate lawyers both are whom are paid by taxpayers to protect the village from expensive lawsuits.

    The zoning board and the planning board willfully ignored separate counsel’s highly qualified, expensive advice (that we all pay for) and predicably kissed the ring of a favorite son.

    The ongoing shameful pattern of neighborhood disenfranchisement in the Village of Warwick is clear.

    Neighbors and neighborhoods are apparently unimportant

    The peaceful enjoyment of your home is not considered in the planning or zoning calculations here in the Queen Village.

    If the V.O.W. has a flag it should be flying at half-mast.

    This may sound like sour grapes, but it smells more like rotten apples.
