Our Lying Supervisor Mohan Calls Council Member Guy Marlette Corrupt
Supervisor Mohan had been trying to reach an agreement with the police union for over two years to no avail. He then asked a trusted Republican ally, Council Member Guy Marlette, to help settle the contract dispute. Councilman Marlette had the respect of the police union and the full confidence of his fellow Town Board members, both Democrats and Republicans.
Marlette was able to negotiate as contract, brought it to the Council and the Board voted. The police contract passed 6 to 1. Three Democrats and three Republicans voted for it. Mohan voted against it.
When Mohan was part of the team he called for seven meetings yet only attended two. Marlette and the rest of the negotiation team worked hard and met often to solve the contract hitches before they would have had to go to arbitration. If arbitrators came in they would have given the policeman a much better deal than the Town was offering.
Supervisor Mohan’s mouth spit out a litany of lies about Guy Marlette concerning the negotiated contract. He called Marlette a corrupt person who sold his soul to the police union. Mohan also said Marlette irresponsibly handed over taxpayer money to the police union.
These lies greatly upset Council member Marlette but he reacted calmly to Mohan’s comments. He stated he never received money from the union when he ran for office. He called Mohan’s allegations, “insulting and somewhat disgusting” and, “a complete lie.”
In truth it was Mark Manna who received the endorsement of the Police Club and advertised it almost daily during the last days of the campaign on the radio. Supervisor Mohan‘s memory was totally confused on who did what, but he continued to attack Marlette. Council Member Marlette said Mohan was lying about nearly everything he was screaming about the negotiated police contract.
The audience understands when a man is lying and Mohan was a disgrace for being a lying, dishonest man, as he has been for the entire two years he’s been Amherst Supervisor.
After Mohan disgraced himself he sat dejected and angry because his little tirade failed to convince the public he was a hero by trying to cut the police budget apart.
The article in the News should have made it clear that Mohan’s act to come out as a hero for the people was simply a pitiful attempt to try to fool the people once again.

I read the Buffalo News article, the article in the Amherst Bee, and now yours. It is clear to me and should be clear to anyone else that Mohan is not fit to hold the office of Supervisor. With each and every failure he continues to blame someone. This time it’s Marlette who succeeded in Mohan failed to do. I would have to agree that from what I’ve seen marlette has always presented himself as a knowledgeable, reasonable person, and has a mind of his own. I’ve seen him working at Town Hall during the day, evenings and week-ends. Perhaps this is why Mohan hates him so much?
I think it’s time for Mohan the madman to resign.

Mohan doesn’t realize that the police have mandatory arbitration. the arbitrator would have to take into account Mohan’s stalling and not making 80% of scheduled meetings.Marlette should be commended for treating our officers with respect and for keeping us out of Labor Court because of the supervisor’s conduct.
