A report from someone who was in attendance at the eight am special meeting held by Supervisor Mohan shared that NO media was in attendance. Was the meeting set to avoid media scrutiny?

This was an unprecedented time and way to hold a public meeting - allegedly for our convenience. It should NOT have been done like this on an issue of this magnitude - the infamous highway contract. With no public or media to interplay with the Board there was minimal discussion and everyone was out in a flash.

Dan Ward objected to the way the meeting was handled. He also voiced concern about the fact being obscured that due to Mohan’s obstinacy and incompetence all we got was delay and $50K per month in extra costs for 18 months for NO BENEFITS to the Town or taxpayers!

This meeting seemed to be deliberately designed to inconvenience all to avoid the glare and scrutiny of the media until it can be managed and manipulated later.

I’ve been told Mohan may hold a press conference later in the day. That should be enough time to put the right ’spin’ on the story.

By the way, the Highway contract was approved-6-1 , McGuire absent.
