To the Editor:

Another neighbor brought discussions on obstructing the public right-of-way with 52 landscaping signs in  a well traveled area of town; he expressed other quality-of-life concerns and his dismay from the town’s responses [“The greening of Guilderland, The Altamont Enterprise, April 4, 2025].

The neighbor compared Guilderland to another community offering the way other communities handle code enforcement. The board deflected to blaming town residents that the town cannot remedy without receiving a complaint.

Please know, there is a formal complaint right now in the hands of the New York State Division of Human Rights about the town of Guilderland not enforcing codes, laws, ordinances, and retaliation by town employees ….

How could Peter Barber and the town board miss 52 of the same landscaping signs within a well traveled neighborhood and do nothing?

Shame on us for being dutiful Democrats putting up with this leadership. We deserve a better supervisor than Peter Barber. We deserve candidates and not a slate. Guilderland is a lawyer’s playground because lawyers run the town. Enough is enough.
