Hello, Oliver! Earl won the Election. Phyllis lost. I am placing demands on the actual First Selectman, not on the runner up. Are you whacko?


>>Okay, Earl so you are saying you won on a platform of
>>fiscal conservativism. If I had really believed that,
>>I would have voted for you, but I did not. Anyway, you
>>now can prove me wrong, and frankly, I would like
>>nothing better.
>>
>>First, if you really are a fiscal conservative, please
>>do not come up with more ways to spend our money. Give
>>up this idea of a senior center. We already have one
>>that serves its purpose. We don't need to spend money
>>to dublicate existing resources. Hopefully all your
>>talk about that was merely campaign rhetoric, and now,
>>you are prepared to give up that idea.
>>
>>Second, show some damn leadership on the Phillips
>>Pharm Phiasco. Come out against it. Leadership means
>>going into combat at the front of the troops, not at
>>the rear. You successfully avoided taking a stand
>>during the campaign, but you got the votes, so you can
>>now come out of the closet. If you are a fiscal
>>conservative, SPEAK THE HELL UP on this issue.
>>
>>Third, and possibly most important, this recent
>>teacher contract vote needs to be investigated. There
>>were several irregularities that I observed, and I
>>wonder how many more there were. I have problems with
>>this vote and how it occurred, and am happy to share
>>them with you:
>>
>>1. The meeting was posted for Town Hall. Yet it was
>>ajourned to Antolini without public notice. I wonder
>>how legal this is. Perhaps you should have a talk with
>>town counsel.
>>
>>2. I was one of the first to leave the town hall and
>>arrive at Antolini. When I got there, the auditorium
>>was ALREADY packed with teachers and mommies. Three
>>quarters of the place was full. Somebody knew in
>>advance that the meeting would be ajourned to
>>Antolini, and the majority of the pro union people
>>were already there, seated and ready to vote.
>>
>>If the Union knew this, why wasn't the meeting
>>scheduled for Antolini in the first place.
>>
>>3. Families I know with kids tell me that a notice of
>>this meeting was sent back with the kids the week
>>before the meeting. I wonder if public (school) money
>>was used for this purpose and if that was legal.
>>Again, Earl, you are in a position to do something.
>>Talk to town counsel. Perhaps you can go to court and
>>get an order to revote ont his contract.
>>
>>4. I am wondering if anyone out there is willing to be
>>a plaintiff in a suit against the School Board for any
>>of the above reasons or because 1, they missed the
>>opportunity to vote because the meeting was moved to
>>another location with out notice, 2. no provision was
>>made for absentee ballots, again improper notice and
>>planning, 3, they showed up late and didn't realize
>>the meeting had been moved to Antolini, 4. they were
>>unable to attend the meeting and no provision had been
>>made for other means to vote.
>>
>>And then there is the little matter of the fact that
>>all the mommies were already seated when everyone else
>>started to arrive. The fact that there weren't
>>adequate seats for the majority of those who would
>>vote against this makes me wonder if that wasn't part
>>of the union strategy.
>>
>>Come on, Earl. You are now the town leader. You can
>>actually do something about these issues. Are you
>>really a fiscal conservative or was that merely an
>>election gimmick.
>
>David, I would suggest you contact Phyllis and place
>the same demands on her as you did Earl. What’s good
>for the goose is good for the gander.
