4 issues with critical priority
Investigation of Personnel Complaints and Information Leaks
Residents blasted the Town over a sexual harassment investigation completed in under two weeks without some witnesses interviewed, Kevin Dailey's public statement, and months of FOIL delays over work-hour records. Trust and transparency are the core issues.
Town Official Work Hours and FOIL Requests
Ann Connolly says her FOIL request for Kevin Dailey's work-hour records has been delayed repeatedly since August, raising allegations of falsified state time records and questioning why Deputy Town Attorney Luibrand now holds the request.
Town Ethics Board Composition and Legal Disputes
Residents challenged the Board majority's public statements as potential ethics violations, questioned changes to the ethics code made by resolution, and pressed for recusal of Councilman Fantini on matters involving the Town Clerk's office — his wife's office. The Deputy Town Attorney agreed to issue a written opinion.
Sexual harassment investigation of Town Attorney Kevin Dailey
The Board's majority read a statement saying one complaint against Town Attorney Kevin Dailey 'did not identify sexual harassment' while the second review remains ongoing. Dailey denied the allegations publicly and threatened legal action; residents blasted the investigation's speed, scope and handling, and the 47-day delay in acknowledging the complaints.
