I think Al’s advice and recommendation are spot on and wise.

A gentle piece of advice from an old communications guy: I wouldn’t pursue this any further. The village president has told us that e-bikes are welcome, which is what we want. Why the village communications person put this out at this time and is most likely because someone higher up told him/her to do so — very rarely does the communications officer have the final say in what gets sent out when, I assure you. The president can sort this out with the village staff; no need for further involvement on our part.

 The Patch article contained the contents of a recent announcement on Glenview's web site.

It would be interesting to find out why someone in the Village found it necessary to publish this reminder at this time:
