...Rights stonewalled the process for no reason. If this was the case, how come the video doesn't show us what precipitated his reaction? Obviously, something occurred. My guess? Hudak, Cullen, and Gross and the residents who support them were trying to hold up the process as usual. That's undoubtedly why Rights says, “We are concluding…a preliminary budget process, and I will not allow it to be CAPTURED OR HIJACKED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.” If you're a concerned resident of Southeast...

"My guess" EXACTLY! You haven't watched the entire meeting or bother to show up to one, so you're guessing what happened. Guess what, you're wrong.

Has anyone posting here actually been to a Southeast Town Board meeting? Whatever Rights' personal failings with alcohol might be, he and Yee are continuously trying to revitalize Southeast, curb the illegal alien problem, and reduce property taxes. If you attend a few Town Board meetings, you'll see that Hudak, Cullen, and Gross stymie their every effort by voting down whatever they propose. In this video, Rights was apparently fighting back. Notice the video is edited to make it look like...

The video was edited in no way. It is taken directly from the Town website and speaks for itself. Anybody is free to view the entire Town Board meeting online. I STRONGLY encourage all to vew the entire meeting or better yet attend a meeting and they will see the truth. Not to say that Rights & Yee have never had a good idea, but they're few and far between. The only people doing anything for political purposes are them.

first of all, according to robert's rules of order, you should say "i move to" not "imake a motion". and once your motion fails you can't just repeat it ad nauseum. the chairperson is supposed to be a fascilitator, not a dictator.

please get rid of this guy, for everyones sake.

@CouncilmanYee YOU ARE AN IDIOT. You're obviously trying to re-direct the attention from the fact that you and mike rights are little children. You ignored public comment and that's why everyone was upset. Stop lying to the public you bedwetter.

DWIGHT YEE WETS HIS BED!!!!!

I want to hit him with that gavel.

It isn't fair to mentally challenged people to call Mr. Rights a "retard". Perhaps his underwear is too small and he's always uncomfortable. Perhaps his mother dropped him on his head too many times when he was young. Or maybe he's been lead poisoned by all the booze he drinks from lead decanters. Clearly he's not well.
