To the Editor:
I would like to publicly thank Tom Berry for his presentation and educational handouts provided to Ray Harrison, Highway Superintendent, and Town Board members at the March 17 Petersburgh Town Board meeting.
Mr. Berry presented the Town with informational handouts on gravel specs, road building materials and various workshops offered at minimal or no cost to the Town.
Supervisor Krahforst was clearly not happy with Mr. Berry’s presentation. Krahforst was defensive and rudely interrupted Berry twice during his presentation. At the closing of Berry’s presentation Krahforst’s’ only response was “we can access that information from the internet!”
As a Town leader, Supervisor Krahforst should at the very least show some respect. Mr. Berry obviously spent hours on researching data. Krahforst and Harrison should be appreciative and thankful that a Town resident has taken the initiative to provide valuable information.
The old adage is “Knowledge is Power.” No one is beyond room for improvement.
Thank you Tom Berry for your efforts and time spent.
Respectfully submitted,
Priscilla Maxon
William Jones Road,
