It seems the guilty members of the County Board were looking to intimidate Robert Force and the battle to Save the Force Farm. They knew he was coming to the November 1st meeting and wanted to make a big to do about nothing.

November 7th is the day the voters can #DrainTheSwamp in Otsego County Board. Make sure you vote, it is your ONLY way to restore honest and open government in your County.
