Telling the seniors they can't cook in a kitchen is laughable and actionable. If it's true that the City has done nothing to rectify this situation I find it both bizarre and troubling. <br /><br />(As an aside, the kitchen cabinets likely belong to Galvan -- they are fixtures regardless of who paid for them and likely become part of the leasehold unless the lease (is there a lease?) specifies otherwise.)John K.

The Columbia County Office for the Aging apparently insisted that they needed the larger room for its Food & Friendship progam. The need to renew the contract with OFA may be an opportunity to renegotiate that, but since that program doesn't seem to be enjoying great success in Hudson, OFA may decide to discontinue it.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-45952194930449502942017-05-09T09:40:14.585-04:002017-05-09T09:40:14.585-04:00Thank you for the great reporting, Carol.

Both classes would expand to serve more people if the big room was used.Pewtetrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787743388006034108noreply@blogger.com
