Three is Better Than None

If you have not seen the latest Town Council meeting on Totoket TV I strongly suggest taking a look. It seems that leadership role is starting to develop. Three members, Rose, Calamita and Faughnan seem to be emerging as the guiding force on the Council with Calamita the strongest of the three. Rose has served in the past and Calamita was appointed at the beginning of this year but all three are newly elected in the November election. Let’s hope that the Council can stay focused on moving the town forward with good policy and let the other boards and commissions do their jobs.

For a listing of times to view the Town Council Meeting see the Totoket TV link at the sidebar.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Managing 'His' Future

The Election is over and the people have spoken. If there is one message this election has sent us, it is that our municipal elections have turned into a popularity contest. Candidates from both sides have thrown their fellow party members under the bus to get the popular vote. Both sides have been heard saying “I don’t care who you vote for just make sure you vote for me”. The vote totals seem to back that up. Give the winner a Miss Totoketville sash and let the Council members pick their Chairman. That would elevate the popularity contest.

Our town manager, Karl Kilduff, has tendered his resignation. For those who haven’t been to or seen a Town Council meeting on TV, the town manager seems to have become increasingly frustrated over the past several months with the confusing manner in which the Council has conducted themselves. With the leadership role still vacated and no one seeming able to step up to fill that spot,the town manger has decided to move on. What a great loss to this community. Despite the council’s political games, infighting and inability to move the town in the right direction Mr. Kilduff has always managed to keep his focus on moving the town forward and assuring the residents concerns were addressed.

Our ex Mayor and the Democrat town committee Chairman have apparently decided to make the search for a new town manager even more difficult. They announced in yesterday’s paper their desire to change the form of our town government and eliminate the town manager. That should reduce the application reviewing by about 98%. Nice job guys. Quick thinking. Did I say quick or quit.

Your Tax Dollars At Work

The above link will take you to a letter that triggered this whole grade tampering issue. It was acquired through the Freedom of Information Act and passed on to me. It is a perfect example of how the NBCCC works. To my knowledge this person has no children in either the High School or Jerome Harrison, yet she gives the impression that she full knowledge of these issues. What she does have, is misinformation and a vendetta against the Board of Education. This campaign of vengeance has now cost the tax payer double, once for an investigation at the local level and the second at the state level and to what ends. Two reports virtually interchangeable with the exact same conclusions. Not to mention dragging our town through the mud because their end justifies their means. The NBCCC now complains about Board legal fees and they are in fact directly responsible for at least 2 of these expenditures and who knows how many indirectly.
