So this is where local governments that are supposed to look out for the best interests of its constituents become heavy handed. Instead of looking at the significant issues — such as the continuing water problems in the village of Fredonia, or the drying up of revenues from state aid to assist in the closing of the NRG power plant in Dunkirk — it’s the mundane stuff that is grabbing all the attention.
Well why not? It is easier for local elected officials to sweat the small stuff than take on tough decisions.
Fredonia, for its part, is caught up in dictating fees to users — specifically in the food trucks. Within the last four years, the fee was put in place to balance some of the competition between longtime eateries in the village and those making a road trip for a day or two to see some revenues.
