In last week’s town newsletter, the Supervisor announced that she will not be sending one this Friday, explaining:
“Given that we have an extra week between board meetings in March, we will not be sending a newsletter next Friday, March 27th. I will write you again in early April.”
It’s a fascinating admission, really. Most people assume elected officials spend time between meetings working on constituent issues, coordinating with staff, moving projects forward, or, at minimum, pretending to. But Bedford has now helpfully clarified that if there’s no Town Board meeting, there may be no measurable government activity to report.
Also, “I will write you again in early April” makes it sound like she’s headed west in a covered wagon, which frankly feels appropriate, since driving on Bedford roads can have a real “tell my family I love them” quality.
So while Town Hall takes a brief sabbatical from sending 1,400-word campaign mailers disguised as public information, complete with 11 photos of the Town Board and the usual gentle reminders that Bedford 2030 remains the unofficial sixth councilmember, I’d like to humbly offer a substitute.
The Bedford Bee publishes 4 to 5 times a week, regardless of the spacing between board meetings, lunar cycles, or consultant availability. It’s free to subscribe, lands directly in your inbox, and guarantees you won’t miss a single post. And unlike the official newsletter, it’s shorter, easier to read, and despite being satire - often more informative.
