Gwenn Hauck does not need to comprehend the report. Whoever keeps writing to her during the meetings will tell her what to say. Yes, Gwenn, we see that you are busy reading and writing during meetings, we see the glow of your device shining off your glasses. Your handlers are providing most of what you say. You are best when you go off script and start rambling on about people should all be nice to each other. You need to be reminded that you are one of the nastiest people in the room. Just last week you went after Mike Sedon like a pit bull, no that is a bad analogy, unfair to the pitt bull. You were badgering him and hammering him, just as we have seen you do to Bernie Walsh, Tom Riche, Susan Knudsen and others. Honey child, you need to look in the mirror – you can lecture the crowd about how you are always so respectful, and you can reprimand the naysayers, but in fact you have shown repeatedly that you can be a class-A B*TCH.

Keith K must be sitting at home and having a good laugh….
This a very astute observation by the previous writer. Watch the recording of the last council meeting. She is being coached by someone to go after those judged to be the enemy. Her admonishment of the audience was sad. At one point it looked like she emotionally broke down and may have been rescued by her handler. Her thought process is disconnected. She should either resign or be recalled. She embarrasses all of us.
Having watched the meeting it is clear that Aronsohn is a weak presiding officer. Haucks performance was like a clip from the movie Mean Girls and Aronsohn reminiscent of Governor Moonbeam Brown of the 1960s. How about the octogenarian who is the Council majority apologist and Bernie calling out Arrinsohn on conflict of interest which he did not dispute.
Time for recall petition.
The three stooges will all be gone come next election, maybe the next time the voters should look a little closer at those that are running for office to see if they have a brain.
Why should any Council Member be on the phone during meetings? That is disrespectful to the office that she ran for. How does that look to the resident speaking at the podium? She is saying that the resident is boring and she needs to watch videos of penguins.
If she does not have the attention span to stay focused then she should take meds or step down.
Remember the little box that was visible through the back of GWBush’s jacket during one of the debates? Reporters were instructed not to photograph him from the back but one did and that picture went viral. Well, that’s what I think of as Gwenn is Taking Her Orders. Strongly agree with previous poster who said that NO electronic devices should be permitted on the dais during meetings. “What if there’s an emergency?” is garbage.
“What if there’s an emergency?” Your right 6:25. If there is a emergency the PD is down stairs. They can come up and get any council member if there is a family emergency .
Resolution 13-87 (April 24, 2013), item #4 reads as follows:
Telephonic or electronic communication between or among Councilmembers or between a Councilmember and a member of the public during public meetings is prohibited.
This Resolution was written by Pucciarelli and Walsh in 2013. Pucciarelli initiated writing it because his conduct had been questioned as a possible violation of The Sunshine Law. He felt that a road-map for proper conduct was needed for council members. It is entitled “Village Council Meetings and Communications Protocol.” It was voted in unanimously.
When a member of the public asked the Council, in October of 2014, whether they were complying with this particular line item, Pucciarelli, Hauck, and Aronsohn all admitted that they do have their phones on and they do receive communications. Sedon and Knudsen firmly stated that they do not. Hauck was outspokenly affronted that her integrity had been called into question. Pucciarelli went on a riff about emergencies and his family having to let him know what is going on. (note to Albert – the POLICE DEPARTMENT is in the building, they can run upstairs if one of his family members calls in an emergency). Aronsohn said his wife sends him little jokey texts (how cute). No matter whether it is a family member or anyone else, these are members of the public who are in touch with members of the Council during Public Meetings.
What is the point in having the Resolution if it is not respected? What is the point of having a Sunshine Law if quiet communications are taking place during public meetings?
Hauck is hideous. Watch the meeting online. Did anyone else catch her cramming food into her mouth? Fistful after fistful..she spent most of the meeting chomping like a cow grazing in the fields.
Hauck can’t complete a thought or sentence. Watching her is painful. Listening to her is torture.
