That is a quote from Today's Watertown Times.
If you listened to the audio from Wednesday nights Town Board meeting you will hear Councilman Durand state that the board gave Sutton permission to use gas from the Town pumps. Other board members were quick to point out that Durand was the only one that remembers that agreement. There is also no record of it in the Town meeting minutes. This agreement would NOT have been discussed during executive session either [no minutes], simply because it has nothing to do with personnel matters or litigation.
Mr. Sutton failed to submit clear vouchers of his gas usage. Typical information found on vouchers of this type are name, time, date, and gallons used during the fill up and a brief description of destination or purpose. Mr Sutton only had to do this and then submit them so that his gas usage could be transferred from the Executive Fund to the General Fund. This is a simple system and is used in local, county, and state agencies. Agencies allow for fuel usage for the occasional work related trips for training, meetings, etc that are a certain distance from the office or work place.
The article also mentions that Sutton took more than 30 gallons of gas within an hour. If you looked at the electronic printout of Suttons gas usage, something should catch your attention. Why would anyone make a trip to the Town gas pumps and only use less than 5 gallons. This happened several times. What was he filling?
