Minority member, Democrat Wayne Jordan tries to take credit when all he did was vote. His consent was never needed and, In his four years on the Board ha has never . initiated a project. Any original idea on his part was politically motivated—and expensive. HETAKE’SALOTpFCREOrFWHERENONEISOUEHIM. -5QMETIME AGO, MayorWilliam White proposed the Village go to salf- Insurince for a savings of $275,000 this year alone. . Now that it’s campaign time, Jordan's faking credit when all he did was vote with the majority. What he'd been pushing for was going to bid for conventional coverage, even though fhal would be the most costly method ol all. SOME TIME AGO, the Mayor and Republlcan/Villaga Parly majority on the Board decided to abolish the position of Economic Developer because the economy was such that there was no Incentive for development, thus Vjjlage monies would be wasted. Jordanvoled “ no\ to the savings, as he says at campaign time. He doesn't point out that now, with the leverage of federal, not Village funds, the position Is being recstab- lishedand incentivescan beolfered. SOMETIME AGO, Deputy Mayor Dorothy Storm, on special assignment, * . worked diligently to interest a motion picture firm in opening,up either of the Village’s empty theatres as a “ twin\ or \quad” house. Candidate J e r ^ Gerstman now claims the Village Board has done nothing In this direction. Isn't he talking to his running mate.
