What do they intend on doing about the Osborn's living there illegally, Are they going to wait another winter for summer to come and allow them to continue living at 8 Valcat for another year? Are they still willing to have taxpayers pay for their kid to go to our schcols and pick up their garbage for free? Are they going to continue to take the Osborn payoffs in exchange for letting them live there?<br /><br />Any HONEST BOARD OF SELECTMEN would have had them evicited after the judge ordered them out.

The same guards worked with us for years and years. That all changed one day. We arrived for work and the new folks running the reception desk were wearing hats and jackets from a different company.

He served more than one term did he not? Mr. Kalman may not have recommended any thing at all to remove the Conman but did any one else do that in an official town position to do that at any time. [Except for the MAcciard situation and the more recent others on this site that is.] You have to remember that the Conman was a selectman at some point of Kalman being hired as the towns lawyer. I'm not a true fan of Mr.Kalman but I do try to look at the overall and make issue with a view and opinion after looking into the issue[s] before passing judge mental blame with my opinions. There can be no doubt that the Conman should be out of the towns employment and that is what most in town think. If there is so strong a removal of the Conman then the selectmen should do their duty now and not in future tomorrows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-27881171013979932512011-12-23T18:15:53.770-05:002011-12-23T18:15:53.770-05:00Dec. 23, 1:52pm;

The towns people let the Conman become the chief as did the selectmen when he did become the chief. Over all how can you blame Kalman when he is a lawyer making his living as he does when others are to blame for the Conman becoming the chief and who was also an elected selectman. When you try to place blame ask yourselves who really is to blame. I think you'll find it is the selectmen ,past and present ,and the voters who allowed the Conman to become a selectman and the chief . Todays selectmen are not doing the bidding of its voter taxpayers to remove the chief from all his duties which include his pet project of Elderly Affairs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874347369787241443.post-5619582294254243162011-12-23T15:52:55.415-05:002011-12-23T15:52:55.415-05:00Sumner is making a lot of money off the Chief'...Sumner is making a lot of money off the Chief's dishonesty.
