The Check Is In The Mail (This is NOT an April Fool's Joke)

Get a load of this one.  A Weatherby Lake citizen made a generous donation by check to the City with two conditions.  First, the money was to be used for specific technology in the Police Department (this equipment would probably not be a budget item next year or beyond).  Secondly, the donation would have to be anonymous.  He dropped the note in the mail, with the check.  Shortly thereafter he received the check back in the mail in a letter signed by the Mayor...thanks but no thanks.  No phone call from the mayor, nothing. You would think a little discussion about the situation with the aldermen would be in order.  No.  This is symptomatic of Mr Botbyl during his term of office.  Lack of communication with the Board, unilateral decisions which really aren't his to make...in my opinion.  April Fools?

Well it is April, I will let you decide who the Fool is.

What a shame for our community. Why couldn't the Mayor find a way to make this happen?
