WOW

I was told buy a old V.P. that the V.P.was the one to appoint the temp.They need the att. tonight for sure. The hate and the sneaking around needs to stop.

Oh don't be so sure about NO VOTING tonight! I think they want to do it and it will be the last deed KZ does on his way out like RM did to Steve

I don!t think they will be any votes tonight? Because I want to know myself why they were there. I didn!t know the meeting was at a different place than the village hall. If creig is to be replaced intill he gets better he should have a say in who he want to stand up for him and his rights last I heard this is a free country and they need to dig a little more about his rights he got more votes than any did.

I hope people come to the meeting Monday night to stand up for the Darien PD! KZ is in a hurry to vote the county in before he's off the board!!

Wait, what?

Why are 3 board members meeting AFTER a meeting? That seems to be a major violation at most, a signal theres crooked things going on at least.

And why is a board member being replaced in a closed session? What is there to hide? Hmmm.....

sspoo with H.B. not on the board she can do more and watch out about the crooks are doing as a board member she could not. I don!t think board members should call the att. without the whole board knowing what going on . Is this not how Dance bill got so high? Like it or not fokes E.E. is the V.P. and the board members that keep it up should be told to leave and shut down the meeting and there should be no closed meeting.

4-2-levelheaded set down and shut up.I would like to know why if the last meeting was at the s.s. hall.Why was 3 board members at the village hall after the meeting? You used to stand up for what right what going on with you?

Nice, keep censoring the truth. Why not exercise the power you have to run your own site. Whatever. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!!! History has certainly died.

Life- The Gazette will pick up on the story when my phone rings. My number at my desk is (608) 755-8219. Or you may e-mail me by clicking on my name at the top of the story.

Thanks very much for reading and posting.

And when is the gazette gonna pick up on the story that our police department is being run by the only part-timer, a Lt. from the City of Delavan, because Sgt. Question Mark can no longer handle it?

Another illusion from DarienGal, Dennison is nothing more than a walking question mark (?). You cannot deny now many agendas that guy has screwed up, posting wrong dates with the wrong days, times, subjects, etc, the list goes on and on. Between having Connie on speed dial and his numerous contacts with the other walking question mark, MM, this village will be a lot better off without him.

In my opinion they have open meetings Violations everyday. Some of the things they are coming up with can only happen with a quorum. They just haven’t been caught yet, AGAIN. Drive by the Village hall and see RW and PP in there. And tell me they don’t also have KZ and CK on the phone. Watch the Village attorney bills EE and DO that is usually a good clue of when they are doing shady things. And Document everything!!!!!
And Dariengal,
Show me one agenda that is posted correctly as you say, and I bet I find a flaw. You’re giving this guy way to much credit. Look who he was tutored by, with taxpayer’s money. And its not considered a meeting until EE calls it to order.

oplease: I hate to break it to you but in your earlier statement you say that since there were no open meetings violations that is a testament to EE leadership. WRONG...That would be Mr. Dennison's doing, by making sure that agendas were posted correctly and in a timely manner. Absolutely NOTHING to do with EE.

There are three general motives behind people talking bad about another person. 1. They're talking with someone to solve a problem they're having with the individual, but lack the skill to do it in a kind way. 2. They want to discredit the other person, or cause harm to the other person. Their motive is to hurt, or they feel they must defend themselves from hurt, so they hurt first. 3. They want to be accepted, so they find common humor, evil, etc. to talk about to make themselves feel better.

It is obvious based on blogs, newspaper articles, campaigns and distributed flyers that some people in Darien need to be educated on how to communicate and deal with people. The healing of Darien will never begin until everyone gets on the same page. Those who continue to display this poor behavior aren’t really concerned about the community; they’re only concerned about themselves and worried how people perceive them; or are trying to full-fill their personal agendas (the wrong-way). Talking bad about others to make you appear better is the epidemic that still hasn’t left Darien. Prime examples are: the statements made by the ex-president (Metzner) about chief DeVoy being a "cancer of the community" and a recent statement by Mr. Wenzel in the newspaper alleging that Ms. Etten and Olmstead daily harassed Mr. Dennison and eluded that they were the reason he was leaving employment. Unless Mr. Dennison wants to publically make that statement then one should not make assumptions that they were the reason he’s leaving employment with Darien.

If it is true about Mr. Putman telling people that Ms. Burton wanted to bring back the chief when Mr. Putman was seated on the board when the disciplinary action began, then I would certainly question his motives and integrity in the position he now holds once again.

The people of the community that are voted by their constituents to represent them in government should be held to high standards (hense the reason for not being able to hold office with a felony record). After-all these are the law makers and people that are in fiscal responsibility. The continued actions I’ve seen by some of the Darien board members are despicable and certainly call into question their respective honesty and integrity. I’m confused on how these same people could question their chief’s integrity and pose discipline when they have displayed very little themselves.

Ah-Men to that justlovesdogs, she is leaps and bounds better than any president before her and if there were more as sane and conscious as she was, this village would be a better place. I predict 5-2 votes from now on, but don't worry, they'll plan a few 4-3's just so it doesn't look so obvious. I cannot believe that people cannot see how self righteous these people think they are; not listening to the people of the village, only doing what THEY want and most likely look down on anyone who would disagree with them.

A giant step back for Darien.
What is wrong with people believing these idiots? What's one lie VP Etten said? Tell us.
I think its good that she lets people speak instead of telling them to sit down and shut up like Metzger did.
One meeting I attended she was not 'prepared for' because Dennison had to run and make copies that were supposed to be provided ahead of time. That was his fault not hers.
I think the old men just don't like a female in charge period.

That’s got to be the funniest thing I have heard in a long time 4_2level. Don’t know what meetings your attending, but you need to get a clue. You want to talk lies? The DeVoy debacle was all lies from day 1. You need to research it a little more and see how many times the Fab 4 have lied. Just recently neighbors have come to tell me that PP was going door to door telling everyone that HB if elected was going to bring back DeVoy. Well guess what? It’s my understanding even if she wanted to, she couldn’t. And do you really think DeVoy would return to the joke of the county called Darien? So here we go, another 2 years of lies open meeting violations and complete corruption. (PP saying,” I have nothing to report”) Watch your taxes and water bills skyrocket and the employees of the Village flourish in pay raises. I have a list of all the lies before, after and during the time I sat on the board if you ever want to see it. So just keep living in your fantasyland and believe that these people are here to help the village. The only thing they want is personal gain. Something to do other than watch Soap Opera’s all day.

I think that E.E. is an abomination to the running of meetings. She needs to call point of order on people talking out of turn, including her "supporters". She never seems to be prepared for her meetings either. She has been caught in lies and shows that she does not care about the people of this Village.

I only been to a couple meetings but I think oplease is right and gets that Etten is honest and trying hard to bring honest govt back.

Against an uphill climb.

Hang in there Evelyn. You do have support.

Must have crossed the line once too often

That is spooky

To you freaks that are saying things about Craig. He has nothing wrong with him that all people after they have a stroke. Craig has more balls than all you who hide behind names.As far as the new guy if he did hit his wife he has no right to be a board member.So what you all are saying anyone with a police record should not be a board member.HUM:

Yikes, what'd I say wrong that wasn't fact?

How about this: "THERE ARE CROOKED people in charge who live in Darien!"

Mostly old men.

I saw Craig McCue out and about the other day. Personally he appears to be much more competent then CK, RW, PP, KZ and the newest member KT. So what's the problem with bringing him back? He can't do any worse.

Yeah.. they were dropped...we all know what happens when things are filed and they plea bargain down or drop them!
ANYONE that has been charged with domestic violence has a serious problem..multiply that by four!
LOL's @ gazettefan!
We will see what a nice guy he is at the next meeting, Craig we need you back bro!

He’s kind of like Mike Maltese, befriends people that can get him places and stabs other in the back to get where he needs to go. “Nice” guy on the surface but the lousiest COP anyone could come upon. Don’t speak with just his co-workers of Darien, talk to the WHOLE county and surrounding counties. This guy is a joke!

if someone did an actual open records request in walworth & rock counties they would see that the ro's were dropped as the plaintiff falsified documents. mr. truckey is a good person and anyone who's actually met the man would know that.

Yea, "character no one can dispute".

You fell for that responsible citizen? I got some cheap oceanfront property to sell you in Colorado.

You believe the lies instead of the cops and the judge? (Well of course you would)

Better have a police presence at future board meetings in case that guy gets peeved.

Responsiblecitizen: you seem to be a man of many hats. Now you’re a psychiatrist as well. I’ll bet his ex’s would like to differ with you too about the name calling. Way to cast blame on everyone else. But then again this is what you’re good at. I’m surprised that the board didn’t appoint you. Oh that’s right, with your “terrible” experiences that landed you on CCAP you can’t!

But they will

Congratulations Ken...Finally a Board member with Character that no one can dispute.
