According to the minutes [right], the VB went into executive session after the regular meeting on October 27th. Very seldom do any of us stay and wait outside for the board to return from exec. session to regular session. The purchase of the taser gun and supplies could have been included in the meeting when everyone is present [they were not included in that nights agenda]. I am guessing that board members felt that the purchase of the taser gun might not be well received by the public. As a result they snuck it in at the very end after all of us went home. Even if it was not their intention to deceive the public........it is the perception that carries the most weight. When will the board ever learn. It is best to keep agenda items out in the open for the public to view.Example of Prices forTaser Gun and Supplies
Chief Mullaney told me that the purchase of the taser gun and supplies was already approved in this years budget. He also told me that any officer wishing to carry the taser must first be trained and tazed so that they can experience the effects themselves. I would like to offer a suggestion, how about we include the entire board when it comes time to experience the taser effects. Or maybe next year's fund raiser should be taser the village officials instead of the boring dunking booth.
Vests for the PD were also approved in the same manner as the taser gun, after all the troublesome public had gone home. The minutes do not specify what kind of vests, but I am guessing.......the bullet proof ones.
