OATH: A simple "oversight"...? NOT TRUE

VERY INTERESTING....how the Town Supervisor portrays the  oath debacle as a simple "oversight"[Per his FACEBOOK page....."...this has happened in Oneida & Oswego counties and is being treated as an OVERSIGHT"

NOT TRUE:   WHY did he purposely  NOT  mention that he and fellow  Madison County Supervisors used this very same "oversight" to throw theCounty Property Tax Director out of Office only last year! (or was that too an "oversight"?)  .... and the ONEIDA COUNTY "oversight":  he knows she also lost the position  to which she was RE-ELECTED (3 times!) and her party APPOINTED someone they liked. See article links below.

It is a much bigger deal than a simple "oversight": 

Since Mr. Salka indicates he will be briefed by the TOWN ATTORNEY this MONDAY morning, how long before we finally get a straight answer to:

Now that there are only 3 Board Members left: Salka, Mayne & Head......they might have a quorum but with Dewitt rumored to be in Florida....so how will be obtain a quorum?

....and who is authorized to reinstate the Board and the Highway Superintendent? ...the Board? a special election??

....what are the implications for any benefits received during the vacancy period ?

....and while he said he reported it as soon as he was advised....just "who" advised him?

Under this administration, the status quo would be an improvement.  More time is spent running around the countryside furthering his own political ambitions...

It took YEARS to get a road agreement.... how long will it take to sort this out and get back to the VOTERS.... or, is this going to be another "sweep it under the rug" affair, just like the school vandalism?... how much will it cost the Town to clean this up?

TOWN BOARD: Another Missing Oath......

UPDATE...OH NO!....the plot thickens... apparently, the Highway Dept Superintendent does not have a completed oath either.... so those seats are effectively "vacant"... and unless Dewitt is in Town, we won't even have a Town Board quorum....certainly  hope Supervisor Salka  has contacted the County Clerk and the Town Lawyer, Tina Wayland-Smith.  This has the making of a real mess ....

Political Intrigue: Brookfield's own "HOUSE OF CARDS".....

You don't have to wait until March to see the next episode of House of Cards ...  we have plenty of Political Intrigue now playing out on our own Town Board. 

 

Rumor has it that TWO recently elected Board members have lost their Board seats for failure to take the "oath of office" required to be filed within 30 days  of taking office.....and we hear the "investigator (s)" is an administration insider(s). 

 

This is the new approach to getting rid of your "opponents" ....Madison County Supervisors did it to the new property tax manager; Utica Democrats did it to their own party member, Harmony Speciale, and replaced her with a more "cooperative" fellow" Democrat.  

 

Anyway, back to BROOKFIELD: 

The next question is "WHO.... had the means to do it?.... or even cared? " hmm....just like a murder investigation it boils down to WHO has the means, motive and opportunity for these political shenanigans???? Look across the table gentlemen, the dealer may be sitting at the table, and the deck is stacked!!!

Great series now playing and you don't need a NETFLIX subscription to enjoy!

CRIME: CAUTION: LADIES BEWARE - Suspicious Activity in Area.

Am posting this because it appears this group may be working Route 8...


CAUTION:  LADIES BEWARE - Suspicious Activity in Area...the following is from a post which appeared yesterday on CNY Fire...there is a picture of the BLACK HONDA PILOT along with license plate # GLU-8705 (see license plate pictured) 

Christy Cordo

Yesterday at 6:24am · 

Residents of Clayville, Sauquoit and surrounding areas: Four (4) men in a Black Honda Pilot (see license plate pictured) were at Reilly's last night asking the two girls who worked there how old they were and what time they closed. They said they were selling Kirby vacuum cleaners. When the mother of one of the girls arrived (her daughter called in a panic), she saw the men videotaping the girls. She took the picture of the plate and called police. Apparently, there have been reports of these men knocking on doors and trying to get into people's houses. BEWARE and BE SAFE.

Check out this good local fire and police call website... BROOKFIELD should contribute....

CRIME: Still no update from BROOKFIELD SCHOOL BOARD

After repeated pressures from the public, in DECEMBER the BCS board was finally embarrassed into offering a $1,000 reward for information they ALREADY HAVE!

Given that the Board REFUSED to acknowledge access by using an employee access card, only further supports the local contention that everyone knows who was involved, but like so many other things in this community, it is a matter of WHO YOU ARE and WHO YOUR DADDY is!

If it was their property you can be damn sure they would have at the VERY LEAST picked up the phone to follow up...but that is NOT how it works in this Town. They are waiting for the County Sheriff and State Troopers to report to them???!!

So much for PROTECTING THE TAXPAYERS' PROPERTY.... for $144,000 per year salary, would expect a bit more "administration"...and a little more "care and accountability" from the School Board. I hope the taxpayers remember this when we pass yet another budget increase for a sub-standard education (reference: the state  test result reports that are never reported or discussed).

To quote one of our illustrious Board Members...We should just shut your CAKE HOLE! They certainly have...and God knows, they have much BIGGER cake holes to cover!
