Town Attorney Pat Malgieri Disrespects Resident at TBM

How comfortable do you feel when you go up to speak at a Town Board Meeting?

Is it intimidating? Do you avoid speaking because you are uncomfortable in front of a large group of people? Are you more at ease when your elected representatives are welcoming and inviting regarding your opinion?

Apparently, some people up at the "big table" think it's funny to make jokes about residents who get up to speak. Sometimes residents go up more than once to speak on a variety of subjects during a Town Board Meeting. At this particular board meeting, Mr. Barone got up to speak, for apparently the third time that night.

Mr. Malgieri thought it was really funny that Mr. Barone got up a third time to speak. If you listen to the video (turn the volume up at the 40 second mark of the video) you can hear Mr. Malgieri say: "Hat trick heh heh heh".

A "Hat Trick" in hockey is when a player scores three times in a game.

Mr. Malgieri, if I'm the ref in this game, you get 2 minutes in the box for unsportsman-like conduct.

How unbecoming of an official who represents the Town of Irondequoit, who is supposed to encourage public "debate" or encourage public comments.

Disgusting!
