Bu-bye, Bobby!

Robert Johnston, possibly setting the record for shortest tenure of a town board member, has resigned his seat and is moving to Tennessee.

Big Bob was notable for his unfulfilled and nonsensical campaign promises, despite the fact that not fulfilling campaign promises is apparently an essential qualification for serving on the current board. Castle Point is still waiting for Johnston’s check to cover the raise he didn’t want and promised to donate. 

And townspeople are still scratching their heads about his pledge to forgo the town “insurance stipend,” which he was never entitled to in the first place. It’s surprising he did not virtuously decline the town’s stretch limo, private aircraft, and personal chef while he was it.

Bobby, Wappinger’s gain is Tennessee’s loss. We’re sure you and your lovely wife “Lauren Shaffer” will be very happy there, but if you’re not, Wappinger wants you to know we hear that Alabama is lovely.
