“Did You Know The Party Bosses Have Ruled Evans For Decades?”
NOT THE REITZ STUFF
How Does The Party Boss System Work In Evans?
Let’s Take A Look!
In a magic show, it’s called misdirection. In football, they call it a play fake.
Evans voters elect the five (5) members of the town board. Residents assume that they have elected public servants who work for them.
The 100% truth is that the party bosses in Evans rule the roost.
When it comes to jobs and spending money, the party bosses always have their ducks (votes) in a row.
Is there proof that the party bosses influence votes? YES!
At the 3-16-2022 Evans Town Board Meeting included this sequence of events:
In the video below:
At 1:23 of the video below, Councilwoman Reitz votes “Aye”. Then immediately during the vote, someone in the peanut gallery interrupts.
At 1:36 of the video, Supervisor Hosler leans behind the town attorney and says to Reitz, “Laurie Vote No!“.
Next, Hosler calls for a roll call vote at 1:58 of the video, Reitz changes her vote from “Aye” to “Nay”!
Someone forgot the meeting was being recorded!
(The entire Zoom meeting can be viewed on the town’s website. [ Click Here ]
The resolution was to table a vote to have further discussion at a work session regarding the town’s social media policy. Reitz has voted 99.9% of the time with Hosler.
On another resolution, per her party bosses, Reitz voted against giving town board members documents without a Freedom of Information Request. [ Click Here ]
The terms “Reitz” and “Independent” are mutually exclusive!
Reitz is an example of why things rarely change in Evans.

Nota Bene: Speaking out of frame are Councilman Schraft & Councilwoman Macko.
The $13,525,000 Water Project Improvement Vote
Laurie Reitz voted for a water project that included $1,352,455 for engineering. She was the second on the resolution. She did not question as to why the town isn’t hiring an in-house engineer to save water customers a million dollars or more! When the town board was questioned as to why the town would not hire an in-house engineer, Laurie Reitz did not fight for water customers.
Laurie Reitz is the only town board member seeking re-election. If higher and higher water bills are getting harder and harder to pay, then use your vote to send the entire town board a message. It’s a safe bet the other five candidates will be listening.

Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.
