Small asides with politicians

Was on the phone today with Jim Anderson, Upper Nyack trustee running for re-election, and talking on all matters drainage and budget when all of a sudden he stops mid-sentence.
I hear a garbled voice in the background. Some shuffling.
Anderson, who is in his car, begins what strangely sounds like haggling. Numbers are being tossed around, there is the garbled voice again and then Anderson finally shouts, “The rest is my dinner!�
Apparently, he’d been negotiating with a homeless woman.
“She was an old lady with no teeth,� he says. “I gave her five bucks, she needed ten.�
