Coming in as low bidder, Mayor and Council award Ferretti both residential and apartment and school recycling contracts.

I don't understand why you complain, Joe, about the geese crap on the fields. Primarily, because even if there is a FOD wouldn't the geese be there as well and why doesn't the town or BOE maintain the fields and the high school track?
