<DIV>Hey folks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regarding the Obama event. Please re read my posts. I asked for
two things:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. To know what steps were taken to provide proper traffic, noise and
crowd control. That was answered. In that answer it was mentioned
that between 400-600 are scheduled to attend this event. That is about 10%
of the population of this town. That caught my attention. 2. I think
my follow up question was a perfectly reasonable one, requesting assurances
from the town that the logistics involving moving 400-600 around Taylor Rd and
the nearest main cross street, Queensbury, would not unnecessarily block my
entrance and exit into my neighborhood or create unsafe traffic tie-ups for Ms.
Sargusingh's neighbors and emergency vehicles, and pedestrians. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Town officials have informed me that Ms. Sargusingh has jumped through all
the "legal hoops". That certainly satisfies a portion of my concern,
although I have no way of knowing if the "legal hoops" are adequate or
not. I secondarily requested the assurance from town officials that
there will be no traffic, noise or crowd control issues surrounding an event
with an expected 400-600 people. The mayor expressly stated in an off-list
e-mail to me that he could not make that assurance. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Incidentally, I received e-mail off-list, regarding my two very simple
questions, that I have felt compelled to cc to my friends, associates, and
the list administrator because the content and inferences made in these
private e-mails made me very uncomfortable and frankly, carried a
slightly ominous tone. I DID NOT ask my questions to complain
about anyone's Right to Free Association. I DID ask my questions in
order to determine how such a large party was going to impact my weekend and my
coming and going out of my neighborhood. I don't think those were
unreasonable questions to ask. </DIV>
