The Teacher is right, I was at the meeting too. If the Chief did anything wrong, he would have been voted 'terminated' by the board.
.
This did not occur. The unanimous vote was to have Hazelbaker contact DeVoy's atty. AND Wilson's atty.
.
What is unclear is why they dragged Wilson into this mess. When I heard them say his name, I was sure they made a mistake and meant to say 'Konopski', but no.
.
No mention has been made of Konopski, and I want to know why that is. He is another good cop that did nothing wrong, so why aren't we privy to the reason for HIS suspension? (Another potential lawsuit among many coming down the pike.)
.
Too much secrecy in this Village, too much back-stabbing and questionable motives.
.
Too LITTLE concern for residents and the future and prosperity of the Village.
.
You are clearly an intelligent guy, I wonder, will you vote for me?
On Teacher charged with drug possession pleads not guilty

Yada-
This is what's wrong in America today. A TEACHER can be caught red-handed with drugs on school grounds, but if your OWN kids were not exposed, it's Ok.
.
Regarding your comment "Some may look at your grammar/sentence structure and think a teacher should do much better", in these blogs sometimes passion and emotion prevail, surely you understand that.
.
Per your OWN statements, (as follows), should YOU be throwing stones?
.
"You are also assuming that she was in a impaired condition". (Grammar?)
.
and
.
"Sure it is bad that the drugs were on the school grounds, but this young lady still needs to have her day in court"
She turned over her own drugs, VOLUNTARILY to the police and is now pleading innocent of HAVING them!
On Teacher charged with drug possession pleads not guilty

If you'd all pause and think a minute - WisPedTeacher has many valid points.
.
For one, it's indisputable there were extreme drugs ON school property, in possession by another teacher. That's a FACT.
.
We don't know if it belonged to her boyfriend, or whatever, that's for a court to figure out.
.
But WisPedTeacher has a right (and a duty) to be concerned, ESPECIALLY if her own children attend that school.
.
Educators have a higher standard to model, because they chose a profession that looks out for the welfare of children.

(Sigh)
First 'mortal' , now 'virtually'?
.
Look it up and quit your accusations, jughead.
.
"virtually" adv. in effect, though not in fact, loosely, almost, nearly.

You all should be ashamed for filing such a bogus and frivolous claim. 'Pain and suffering"? GIVE ME A BREAK!
.
Like the other person posted - don't bite the hand that feeds you.
.
Here's how RIDICULOUS this is. The cameras were discovered on Dec. 1. (About 6 hours into Dennison's first day on the job!) If he was hanging out in the Police Dept., he wasn't doing his job.
.
And for ALL of them - with cameras posted at intersections, in banks, at convenience stores, parking lots, etc. - you should pretty much assume you'll be on camera in MOST public areas.
.
If this causes you "psychological injury", more is wrong with you than money can cure.
.
I hope you all realize that you have virtually cut all ties connecting your future employment in this village.
.
What a joke.

Cornchild -
When Steve Devoy spoke with the newspapers recently, he said he asked for advice from the Walworth County Sheriff's Office once he found evidence that confidential records had been compromised.
.
By following the advice given by the Sheriffs, DeVoy CLEARLY had no personal agenda to conduct an 'unwarranted' investigation of innocent bystanders, and in fact, he was NOT the one who installed the cameras.
.
That said, the question remains, why were all these Village Employees in the Police Department? Their work does not involve being there.
.
It's a fact that Metzner and Putman had been in the same public area of the Police Department as others, yet they are not included in the charges.
.
Why would that be? Perhaps because they are running for re-election? Maybe wanting to continue the Good Old Boy government here in town without dirtying their own shoes - and letting others be thrown "under the bus"?
.
Another question - WHO in the Police Department was compromising/accessing/nosing into CONFIDENTIAL records unlawfully?
.
Well, this has never happened in Darien before. But now we got a newer guy, who has a reputation of creating chaos and dissention following him, from MANY communities. Do you think it might be him?
.
A Police Officer who does not conduct a FULL investigation of a valid complaint, including BOTH parties, is not an officer we, as citizens, expect will uphold the law as written. And this officer in particular has an agenda that is frightening in that he is willing to forego designated policy to hide facts, cover wrongdoing and advance his career, to the detriment of his Chief and honest citizens of Darien.
