Outgoing supervisor honored for service

    Frank Del Gallo’s time as town supervisor might not win him any awards, but his charity as a town resident has garnered him a designation as the Rotterdam Elks’ Citizen of the Year.
    The Elks chose Del Gallo for the annual award due to his effort to rebuild the kitchen in the Rotterdam Senior Center in 2010 and his work to build a large veterans’ memorial outside of Town Hall earlier this year.
    Tom Osborne, the longtime chairman of the Elks’ trustees, said Del Gallo’s volunteer work on both projects, as well as others in the town, prompted his organization to recognize the outgoing supervisor during a dinner earlier this month.
    “He did a terrific job on that monument,” Osborne said Tuesday.
    The Elks had already selected Del Gallo for the honor when several Town Board members raised issues with how he funded the monument’s construction.
    Board members questioned whether Del Gallo could donate his $13,000 salary to the project without board approval and also criticized the lack of accounting of materials that were donated to the cause.
    The issue was raised during the board’s last meeting of the year, which happened to fall only a few days before the Elks were to present Del Gallo with the award.
    Osborne said the flap over the monument stirred some initial concerns, but the Elks ultimately decided the issue had little to do with the overall praise they had for Del Gallo’s personal work to get the job done.
    “I was amazed,” he said. “I couldn’t believe how nice it came out.”
    The monument and kitchen weren’t the only projects where Del Gallo volunteered his time. The supervisor also helped the Elks’ restore their bocce courts and an old trolley they use for parades.
    In each instance, Osborne said Del Gallo didn’t hesitate to lend whatever help he could provide. With all politics aside, he said Del Gallo has shown that he can make a positive impact on the community. ......................>>>>.........................>>>>...................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01001&AppName=1

You're joking, right?  Are you talking about the guy who gets his property taxes cut while everyone elses goes up? You mean the same guy who told Floral Ave residents he wouldn't live in thier neighborhood?  yea...you must be joking.

NO I AM NOT JOKING SUE

FDG is gone and the new REGIME is in......let's see what they do for you...

So far they have the banter of   'SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP....WE'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK..."
