Do "public officials have an obligation at town meetings to devote themselves to their work, and that work does not include reporting negative news about citizens of the community, past or present?"

Public Behavior at Town Board Meetings
By Michelle Boyle | August 29, 2012 at 11:50 AM EDT | 16 comments

Unfortunately, the type of behavior we are seeing at Town Board meeting's could ultimately impact future residents and drive down home values. On the other hand, it is an advantage for anyone who wants to buy land for redevelopment. Sadly, we all lose when this level of disrespect for one another takes place at public meetings.

CVS Pharmacy
By Michelle Boyle | July 25, 2012 at 04:49 PM EDT | 15 comments

A new and comprehensive evaluation of CVS's impact of Armonk's business district was prepared by The Community Land Use and Economic Group LLC for the Concerned Citizens of Armonk. The study says that the proposed CVS in Armonk would generate an approximate $8.9 million in net revenue and this will be detrimental to the economic health of Armonk's commercial center because it would deflect from existing nearby businesses.

Byrnwood Golf & Country Club
By Michelle Boyle | March 09, 2012 at 08:27 PM EST | 5 comments

The most important question at hand is whether or not the town would be better off having Brynwood remain a golf and country club with 123 units along Route 22, or have them demolish the golf course and build up to 49 homes on the 150-acre site.

Please Note Our NEW POLICY as of December 18, 2012

Polite Open Discourse

Stories about the perils and accomplishments of our town residents include those of our government officials. Many of the topics that appear on allaboutarmonk.com are controversial. We allow the public to comment on certain stories, adding to the civil discourse. I have asked that our readers use their real name since it has come to my attention that perhaps one person is writing many different messages, so as to pretend that many of the public is in agreement with that person's opinion.

Below there are several comments that were not published because they were made under fictitious names about the General Highway Foreman story. If the comments have any validity, it appears that people may be hiding behind a name in order to attack public officials. Irrelevant of whether you agree or not, the messages may be relevant, but the delivery can be more transparent.

The public clearly wants to comment about public events but are seemingly fearful of "retribution". I will allow the comments because there seems to be no other way for the public to freely express their opinions since the comments about the town board's policy has generated more frequent and emotional complaints.

Please I ask you to be truthful, post your own thoughts and we welcome multiple comments, but we ask if you make more than one comment please use the same real name or same username.

Please note the opinions expressed in this blog do not necessarily reflect the opinions of allaboutarmonk.com.

Note that only clear-formatted fonts or copy are acceptable in the blog. The best method of posting a comment is to type directly into the comment box. If you need assistance clearing the format, we recommend Text Wrangle at http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/. Sorry for any inconvenience.

From May 23 to July 15, AllAboutArmonk.com conducted a survey asking: Do you want a CVS in Armonk?
