I was astonished to read that all seven members of the Council on Aging in Leyden have resigned after submitting a letter to the Select Board citing continued “harassing” and “bullying” by a local resident (“Citing lack of support, Council on Aging turns in letters of resignation,” Recorder, Jan. 7). I was even more astonished to read that the Select Board’s answer was to ask Council on Aging members which regulations in Leyden’s code of civil conduct the resident violated, “as opposed to protected democratic participation.” Wait … what? You have all seven people resigning and you’re asking them to prove how they feel? Get a grip and protect them … not the bully.
