Almost any time you post you bash him!

People are innocent until proven guilty, ResponsibleCitizen. Following are only the comments you made in less than one week!:

Posted on March 13 at 3:01 p.m Steve Devoy took a large personal role in distributing flyers before the election to help promote Bob Metzner for VP...take it as you will. (Oh, and this is false, by the way)
Posted on March 10 at 3:27 p.m. Devoy Broke the rules plain and simple...
Posted on March 9 at 9:59 a.m. Many of you are quick to assume that because Steve was here for as long as he has been that he is a good cop...

Since we have not yet heard his side of the story, that would make you a DeVoy basher.

why don't you tell me which comment is "Devoy Bashing"?

ResponsibleCitizen -
You are known as a DeVoy basher, and you could not be more mistaken about the guy's character, ethics and morality. In the past you said you would never run for office your own self.
You are entitled to an opinion when you know the facts, until then, I advise you keep your uninformed opinion to yourself, because you will look like more a fool in the end than you already do.

just because I stated that the purchase was approved did not mean that I APPROVED OF IT. Steve Devoy pushed for the 3rd squad and for the purchase of a car to replace our oldest car. Our Budget issues are not a new issue...we knew when the Board approved these expenditures that we need to cut costs.

We is the village...there are a lot of options on how to manage the scheduling of our officers to maintain a 24hr coverage...and cut costs. The Question is not what is the best way it is HOW WILL OUR BOARD ATTEMPT TO MANAGE THIS. I was under the impression that hiring an Administrator was for him to manage the village supervisors...alleviating the Board from the managing duties over DPW and DPD. With the Administrator reporting to the Board. I WANT 24HR COVERAGE...I like knowing that if I call 911 that a local officer will be on the scene.

For Darien to maintain self sufficient 7day 24hr coverage it requires more than 4 officers. I do believe that we do not need more than 2 cars myself and voiced a complaint before the budget was approved...however it was an approved expenditure. My "feelings" are that we should get rid of both the Dodge Intrepid & the older Impala. There is no need for more than 2 cars as rarely should there be more than 1 patrol and one in the office. In the rare need for a 3rd squad we can rely on other area communities for backup as we always have.

"WE" are not looking to disband....? ResponsibleCitizen, you + who = "we"?

You seem to think cutting 24/7 police protection is a good idea (it isn't). And purchase of a new police car is now ok with you?
Where do you stand on anything - it's like trying to nail down a piece of jello.

the new squad car was an approved item when Devoy made out his budget plans last year...we are not looking @ disbanding the PD just managing time differently

I think ResponsibleCitizen means "candidates" rather than "constituents".
About that new squad car, ResponsibleCitizen, was it an authorized purchase? Village is losing money right and left, considering decreasing the PD, issues with the sewer system deficiencies, and they buy another car?

by no means defending any board members or employees...but maybe people can try actually asking their questions to the appropriate people before bringing it to the Board...Greg Epping is easy to work with for and DPW issues. If you don't go and ask questions how are they supposed to be answered. Stop in and ask Marc Dennison your questions. And as keepitrealnow says get to know your constituents and how they stand. How many of you have attended any of the meetings that PP chairs and actually seen if there IS any business that needs to be reported.

I was just amazed at the board meeting last night! VP just sits there with a grin on his face and thinks everyone should bow down to him. Then there is BW and PP who just sit there! DO SOMETHING! Hats off to CM and AK who actually want to work for the people, which is what the board is suppose to do…work for the people. All I can say village residents, get to know the people who are running for village board and what they stand for and vote responsibly. And how long does it take Dennison to get answers to citizens questions? I would think that most of the questions that were on the agenda had been there for at least 4 days, and yet Dennison couldn't have at least a few items prepared? No matter what was asked..."I will have to get back to you" that is almost as bad as "nothing to report"

Thanks Ann...
