Possible copy/paste copyright violation

I have tagged the government section with a {{copypaste}} copyright violation tag, as a significant portion of the section appears to be copied and pasted directly from http://villageofellenville.com/boards.aspx, published by "Simple Web Design FD&P LLC All rights reserved 2009". Below is a table with a side by side comparison of the two versions, which serves as the basis for me tagging the section.

	Ellenville is one of three villages in Ulster County, along with New Paltz and Saugerties.
Offices of the Village of Ellenville are housed at the Ellenville Government Center, 2 Elting Court, which, at five-stories, is the tallest building in the village and town.	Ellenville village offices are housed at the Ellenville Government Center, 2 Elting Court, which, at five-stories, is the tallest building in the village.
	Formerly the headquarters of the Ellenville National Bank (ENB), the building was sold to the village after the ENB was acquired by Provident Bank; in 2007, the village transferred its offices and the police department from its location at North Main Street, primarily to address the old village hall's limited space and failure to meet mandated handicapped-accessibility requirements.
The government of Ellenville is headed by a Board of Trustees, composed of an elected mayor and four trustees. As of 2007, all terms were increased from two years to four years, and elections were moved from March to November. Regular meetings of the Board are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Village Court convenes each Tuesday evening in the same meeting room.

Well, what "appears" to be so is simply a false jumping to conclusions, and NOW posting this, AFTER precipitously ACTING as if it WERE so, is no excuse for NOT taking one's own advice and FIRST discussing it HERE before making wild claims that *I'M* lying or mistaken.

The truth is simple: *I* posted THE WORDS first ON Wikipedia; Frank Romanek, the new webmaster for the Ellenville website, COPIED them verbatim, and hasn't kept them up to date, which explains any difference. So, just because the site SAYS "All rights reserved" doesn't change the fact that HE "borrowed" (lifted without credit? STOLE?) MY original words and perhaps HE should be chastised, not me?

JBC3 COULD have checked this out first before making accusations and then calling me a liar.

This is what happens when someone unfamiliar with the specifics that MATTER to those knowledgeable about the subject interfere and get all high-handed and patronizing and become overzealous and fanatical busybodies in areas that don't impact on them but can definitely have impact on those that LIVE in the area the article deals with.
