There’s definitely two sides to the charter issue that will be discussed tonight at the village board meeting in Fredonia. On one side is the current mayor, who is making a push to remove the administrator position from the document. The other side, led by former village attorney Sam Drayo, wants it reinstated.

It is hardly an attractive issue — and much of it comes down to legalese, which barely ever captivates a constituency.

But depending on what happens tonight with the proposal, this could be a key election issue. The Republican side apparently believes in a village administrator, while the Democrats currently serving on the board do not.

How much weight this carries with the voter? That remains to be seen.
