Suggestion Box: Recommendations For The Village Board

This is the second part of our "Suggestion Box" series, providing Times readers the opportunity to submit comments and questions for elected officials serving on the Dorchester Village Board.  (Click here to see the suggestions for the school board.)

Questions and suggestions may address a variety of issues, ranging from topics such as economic development, streets and infrastructure, housing, water fees, garbage disposal, and spending issues.

We ask readers to keep their comments civil and thoughtful, just as if you were attending a public meeting or speaking to board members face-to-face.

Elected officials need to be accountable to their constituents.

But please keep in mind that village board members, like other local leaders, are volunteers.  They don't get paid.  Seldom do they hear "thank you." Respect them and their willingness to be a public servant.

  1. There is a business on main street, nothing against them, but lots of people are getting letters in cleaning things up, it would be nice if a fence was put up around it so you dont see everything up there, I know coop had to, and so did the old sehnert garge. It would look so much better if that was done.

  3. The people that are pissed off need to clean up their properties. Don't you think your neighbors are pissed off looking at the mess?
