Council knew of recruits legacy background before they were given the go ahead
The village nepotism policy states that when a potential hire is a legacy, the village manager must supply the council with his or her legacy background.
If you watch the public meeting, Heather clearly states that she informed the council of the recruits legacy background before they were given the go ahead.
Then the council approved these two hires to proceed with medical exams, drug tests, and psychological exams.
The nepotism policy should not even be in question at this stage. Heather also stated that when question by Albert that no non-legacy candidate was skipped over.
In fact, the only candidate that was skipped over was a legacy. In addition, the skipped candidate is the one who has the most political and municipal ties of them all.
So these two eventually will get hired after everyone makes sure they complied with policies in place.
No, The wheels are in motion to block these two candidates at ever step. They are going to hand pick the next Village Manager most likely one of their good friend and supporters. She or he will then finish the work that they started
And #2 if they are not blocked at every step and do become recruits and officers will you apologize for your defamatory remarks or will you simply move on to complaining about leaves again?
Yes number #3 I will apologize and will sing their praises for doing the right thing and vote for them again. Because I can admit that I am wrong no axe to grind here.
#3 How about their defamatory remarks will the apologize?
Somewhere in the system of hiring these two candidates something went wrong. If the council finds that everyone acted in good faith then they should take the following steps. Ensure that these candidates are enrolled in the next police academy . Ensure that these two candidates have jobs and insurance up until the attend the police academy. This would certainly lessen if not negate any potential large awards that may be given if any legal claims were to be filled and awarded. Remember Mayor what you said when lobbied for attorneys fees for the fireman that had been passed over and won is case. ” Because it is the right thing to do”
didn’t one of the candidate fail out of the academy once already?
No he didn’t fail. He was injured and could not complete the training at the time. Which if you think about it… how can someone that made it through once. Then gets approved again. Get called out because of nepotism this time? The VC and the VM approved him last time? So why bring up nepotism now?
