Not good

So what Laura and Joel had to say was worse than bad. It sucks. The aldermen seem hell bent on stopping Derby Day. They want the vendors to pay for their background checks -- which they shouldn't even have to have. This year they said $15. Next year they also want $200 per vendor for licenses.

I saw Judy Nicolari tonight and asked her and she said Ansonia does NOT do that and that we're going to lose our vendors. She said this would kill Derby Day. I agree.

Saw Anita at the art gallery and I told her how upset I am. She wants to have a meeting before the committee meeting -- the committee meeting that's going to discuss vendors and stuff. I'm going to research all the other towns and contact the heads of their fairs and get info from them to bring with me to the committee meeting. This is bullshit!
