You didn't say you were going to do that!

Voters want change, only if the person elected doesn't really follow through. This is not what Dr. Satish Mohan has done since being elected Amherst town supervisor. He has proposed hiring freezes and cost cutting. He even, for the love of God, signs each check every town employee receives to make sure things are on the up and up.

For all the above, many feel Mohan should be impeached or recalled. Dr Mohan's response?

"Let the people re-vote, but if they throw me out, the dream of change will go from this town forever." "These are the people who are entrenched," They are against change. "

Mohan is a reformer. This is why he was elected. He actually approaches his role in the way it was meant: save the town money.

Now it makes sense.

This guy has guts. It is too bad the people of Amherst who elected this guy aren't showing up in numbers to let everyone else he works with know HE'S THE GUY. He has been given such a hard time and all he is trying to do is his job. I'm sure it will take a great deal of time for Mohan to get rid of the long-entrenched cronies in Amherst. But give him time - change is never easy, but in the end, the cost is worth it.
