At a special meeting of the Village of Albion Board of Trustees on Feb. 13, 2024, the board's only vote to draw an abstention -- and the only one on which Javier, Mayor, is recorded casting his own vote -- was a motion to send a police patch to a resident's son; trustees otherwise handled routine budget, reserve-fund, surplus and personnel business.
