Message :   Union Springs mayor protected his village & fired Staley. Our ZBA CPP & PB all have horrble Staley experiences & they can ask VB to vote not to renew his contract. The VB can vote to overturn mayors appointment & might do it w/backing of other boards.
 Message :   tell that to the mayor.
Location :   Doug Staley
