SALKA's RESPONSE TO "Rumor"....

Sorry to have missed last night's meeting....sounded pretty interesting....in any event, in all fairness to Supervisor Salka,  following is response to me and "his side of the story". Emphasis added.  As for any legal action against me, the Town Attorney has advised John that this would be a PERSONAL matter... so no more Town money would be wasted.

I am probably wasting my time even responding but I am sick and tired of reading your “rumors”.

This is an answer to your tripe:

·         *   Mr. Piersma had every intention of requesting a leave of absence BEFORE ever intending on building our home which, obviously no matter to you, is none of your business. After our daughter passed away we decided we could no longer live were we are and are building a new home. Bob gave us a fair quote and will be getting the job.
*
·        *   I never asked Mr. Jennison to leave a board meeting. If you would show up at meetings instead of criticizing without being somewhere that is your prerogative.

·         * You failed to mention in your cheap shot blog that you never received the grant and had little chance of it. I have been in consultation with the engineers and we have a very good chance of getting a grant from the new round of CFA moneys available.

·       *    The minutes have always been available from the town clerk and you know it. You simply find it more satisfying to lay blame where it does not belong and  you continue to incite counterproductive and mean spirited sentiment in our town.

       * I will be contacting an attorney to  make sure that you do not cross the line between criticism and slander.  If you do I will take appropriate actions.
