    Townhall Tailgate Village of Montgomery July 7 2026

    The mayor says he found $800,000—and he wants to give some of it back to Village residents. Sounds great, right? There’s just one problem: the proposal came as a surprise to the entire Board, with no financial reports, no supporting documentation, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. In this episode, Sylvie and Karina try to untangle the political theater from the actual governing. What should have happened before announcing a refund proposal? What did the Board actually accomplish—and what happens next? We connect the dots, explain the process, and try to figure out what just happened. Because good government is about more than making a big announcement.
