Ogdensburg City Councillor Nick Vaugh missed three consecutive City Council meetings in the Maple City so fellow Councillor Mathew Flynn wants him kicked off the Council.
Mr. Flynn suggests provisions of the City Charter justify his position and that absences must be excused and he says these three were not.
Mr Vaugh says he had some bum wisdon teeth.
I met Vaugh for the first time a few weeks back when he stopped by with Congressional hopeful Matt Doheny. I didn't check on his wisdom teeth.
In Watertown, we don't require an excuse for absence or tardiness. Our feeling is the public will judge the job done at election time.
If Mr. Flynn is upset about absence he is welcome to sanction Mr Vaugh by airing his criticisms to the voters. Council members kicking out other councillors....Not a good idea.

This story is almost as good as the gentleman who works in Washington and is on the Carthage School Board.
Vaugh missed the meetings cause he was spending all his time stuck up Matt's a$$. Hoping if Matt got the nod he would help Nick get elected to the 118th.
Would being in Hawaii for a couple of weeks or leaving a City Council Meeting in progress for a fireworks display count as excused abscences in Ogdensburg?
If someone isn't showing up then its up to the media to point it out like they did with the dude in carthage
No different than all the schmos in congress. Half of them never show up to vote on anything. It's not news, it's politics. Move on.
