It must have been a slow news day on Sunday, February 5th. The front page article above the fold was about Walker Pond in Webster. The third article making the town select board and employees look like “inside trading.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Chris Schadler wasn’t even on the board of select persons when most of this happened, nor was Mason Donovan.

Webster has a population of 1,600. Most residents understand the situation and don’t see a problem in the private road and the sale of property through sealed bids that was properly handled. There is, however, a small group (I emphasize small) that want to continue to beat this dead horse and make Webster look like a bunch of crooks. They have an axe to grind and most of us are sick of it.
