It's kind of ridiculous to see people running around patching things when in the big scheme of things, they have a much bigger situation. They need new ideas, new and better brains behind this entire state. Unfortunately everyone requires electricity, from the wealthy to the poor, we all have to wait in line to get our wires fixed. People resigning? Give me a break, why? Did he personally mismanage the situation? I doubt it, it's a bigger problem than that.

This town is a laughingstock. The PD is quickly becoming one also. New leadership should bring change, change will NOT make everyone happy. Hopefully in time, things will straighten out. The TC needs to get their act together first and figure out their game plan, then stand together as a team, not as enemies out to get one another. Discuss situations as adults, compromise, get facts, think clearly; if you disagree, take a step back, think about it from a different angle. There is more than one view to a problem. Next, everyone needs to change their passwords to their PCs and limit usage of it and enforce the guidelines on said usage. Its 2011, the town should have SOP guideline by now. They have lawyers, make them earn their money. If they are incompetent, which I am beginning to believe they are, get new ones. This town has become utterly ridiculous. It's seems to be governed by a group of adults not quite out of high school. At this point, its not about who is right, it's about what is right and what is ethical. ethics - a. A set of principles of right conduct. b. A theory or a system of moral values: "An ethic of service is at war with a craving for gain" 2. ethics (used with a sing. verb) The study of the general nature of morals and of the specific moral choices to be made by a person; moral philosophy. 3. ethics (used with a sing. or pl. verb) The rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession: medical ethics.
