while I was still a member of the first page, and uncertain of its legitimacy, I searched for other groups and found the “Get Involved” page. The title seemed reassuring, as it didn’t seem to try to confuse residents regarding powers and purpose. 

if the inference is that I just “like” or ” prefer” one over the other in this childish narrative that’s being created here, that is not what has happened. What has happened is that, I did my research. I reached out to the Board myself for clarification on the ROC page, and Frank Daly immediately mentioned the Get Involved page’s founder was a “Federal criminal.” It left a poor taste in my mouth. At that point there was no reason to mention it. I asked myself why? I asked Daly why? 

I have a series of email responses from the board in response to my questions.  I suggested a social media policy as a solution. it appears to have been shot down today. Because this board says it uses common sense. Tell that to other businesses and nonprofits who have guidance and rules— including social media policies— meant to streamline communications and reduce blurred lines and confusion. 

 How many times do board members get to bring up this person and their “criminal“ record out of the blue before it become another lawsuit the residents pay for? What other criminal cases do they go out of their way to share with residents of the community they serve about those very residents? What’s next? Where do they stop?

And for that matter, I have a child. No board member reached out to share unsolicited criminal records of any child sex offenders in my area. Is that “kindness“ only extended when it’s the spouse of a political foe? Again, self serving and conflict of interest. Just as the attempt to pass the bylaw banning people with spouses with criminal convictions from running was directed at the same couple. A couple I didn’t know anything about our care to. But the board made it a point to mention th is “felon”— like it’s the boogeyman. As far as I’m concerned, this board seems awfully afraid of being voted out— and looks to prevent it in every way they can. But the true test of a person is to give them power, right? In my opinion, this board has failed that test. 

This isn’t really about a juvenile Facebook war. This is far beyond that. I’ll share what happened to me personally after I voiced my concerns about another matter with you off the record. If you’d like.
