Don\u2019t Believe Everything You Hear From Town Council
BY JONATHAN ESPOSITO <\/a>\/ 24 DECEMBER 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I heard a rather shocking pronouncement from Town Council Chairman John Farrell at the 12\/18\/23 public meeting. \u201cDon\u2019t believe everything you read in the paper,\u201d Farrell says, \u201cbecause it\u2019s all one-sided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not attend this session of the council, as my children are Elementary aged, and we enjoyed the showing of the Polar Express with the North School Community. Rather, I listened at home, and boy am I glad I did, as I almost fell out of my chair when I heard that statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is ironic that he chose the term \u201cone-sided\u201d as that is actually the most appropriate way to describe the manipulated information flow that proceeds from the Town Council and many of our malfeasant elected and appointed officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne-sided\u201d would be citizens emailing the Town Manager and Town Council and not getting a response from their elected officials to the majority of inquiries and communications they send off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne-sided\u201d would be a Town Manager and Town Council that consistently have failed to produce information and documents upon simple citizen request, forcing citizen\u2019s to file right-to-know requests to compel the town to release information that should be readily available to the public, but apparently have to be redacted to cover Town wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne sided\u201d would be giving a citizen 3-5 minutes at public comment to speak, and then Councilman Jim Butler spending the next 20 minutes personally attacking that citizen for asking too many questions. Ironically enough, \u201cone-sided\u201d is exactly what Councilman Butler promised to be when he said he would like to control the narrative during a July Public Meeting of the Town Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
