Complaining about the fence might be getting old, but that's EXACTLY what the elected officials and others want you to do, move on, forget about it. That money is gone now. That's EXACTLY how this frivolous spending goes on and on. The taxpaying residents that should keep this in check simply don't give a shit. I can't believe that many people don't care how their own money is being used. How many weeks a year does an average borough resident work just to pay this town and school district? Are you really getting your money's worth?
