Despite Lacy being removed from his position, he and the mayor are trying to maintain influence over the police force. This has led to confusion and conflicting information, including a mandatory meeting that was declared not mandatory and directives from an administrator whose employment status is unclear. Additionally, the village is facing significant legal and financial challenges, including fines and withheld state funds due to non-compliance with reporting requirements and Freedom of Information Act requests. The entire situation is described as highly disorganized and troubling.
