Ok let’s review the tape here:
Backup to February 2007, ” VERNON – Mayor Ellen L. Marmer publicly apologized to Town Council Republicans Tuesday after she tried to stack the local Ethics Board with Democrats, in violation of an ordinance she helped craft more than 20 years ago”.
This is quoted from the Journal Inquirer dated February 22, 2007.
“The board, which meets four times a year unless there is a case before it, consists of five regular members and two alternates. New members are nominated by the mayor and approved by the council to serve for up to five years.”
”Republican member Carlos Cruz resigned from the board this month because of time constraints at work, leaving only one Republican on the board, Herbert Slicer, to serve alongside three Democrats: Fredrick Nowsch, Lois Schumey, and Chairman David Herrmann.”
You can see the entire article at the Journal Inquirer.
The person stearing the Town Council, appointing people to important boards and running the agenda can not decide what is important to just Democrats or herself. She has the Town Attorney at her disposal and cannot have a “Whoops” when it is convienent or when others are not looking.
