“A CONCERNED CITIZEN”?……
Dear Readers… Looks like we now know for sure who is running the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea …Vice Mayor McIntee!… On November 18, 2009 the Town Manager distributed an anonymous letter to the commissioners … It was a vile letter full of accusations made against our Town Mayor. It was addressed to “Commissioner McIntee” on November 11, 2009… It began with words like “hate” and “lies” … venting character assassinations toward our Mayor on her dais behavior on Nov. 10, 2009… This anonymous sleuth apparently looked into the Mayor’s lighting business online and continued with the assault with terms like “appears to be a blatant lie”…making accusations into her business dealings around town…This “detective” included the Mayor’s incorporation documents from 2000….In each of the paragraphs filled with hatred for the Mayor was a succession of rants that grew intensely venomous in tone and should have raised the red flag for the safety of this elected official….Scarier still was the ending of this “concerned LBTS resident’s” diatribe…It ended with the following ” I hope this helps you Commissioner McIntee. I will definitely be voting for you based on what you accomplished for us in LBTS.” Many thanks, A concerned LBTS resident”…
Well this “long time cop”…Vice Mayor McIntee … made a decision that shows why his time as a commissioner and VFD officer are required to end…ASAP!…
Vice Mayor McIntee did not take this anonymous letter immediately to the BSO….for them to protect the Mayor and make her aware of its existence… NOPE!…
Vice Mayor McIntee did not immediately inform the Mayor himself, of such a threatening letter he was now in receipt of….NOPE!…
Vice Mayor McIntee did not immediately go to the Town Manager for her to do either of the above actions …NOPE!…
Vice Mayor McIntee, we are informed took this anonymous, vile letter to the Town Manager and asked her to distribute it to the commissioners…and then asked her to pass it on along with the Mayor’s business incorporation documents to the Town Attorney…to see if the accusation made anonymously were true!… YEP!…That’s what the “old cop” did!… The guy who insists he would “protect” and “assist” “anyone”…24/7 in out town!…
Incredibly, the Town Manager complied with both!…. So much for black and white!…
Incredibly, the Town Manager we are informed …said if she did not distribute the anonymous letter and materials….the Vice Mayor would do it anyway!… WOW!…
The Town Manager who is on record along with the commission for not accepting anonymous letters went against her own rules!…AGAIN!……
The Vice Mayor we are told, was the previous perpetrator of the last such “anonymous” distribution.made to the commissioners…..It is said he and his wife “The Truth Deflector” distributed accusatory materials against former VFD Battalion Chief Patrick Pointu after the Pointu resignation letter came out in September 2008…in order to take the heat of McIntee’s succession of bad acts well documented in the signed letter from Pointu…(prev. posts)…
The Vice Mayor is also on record not long ago going after his present- day dais nemesis Comm. Dodd about not giving credence to complaints made anonymously…OOPS!…
So here we are folks…..We the taxpayers are going to pay our Town Attorney to look into an anonymous letter and its contents because the Town Manager is being directed by the Vice Mayor!… $$$$$$…….
The Mayor’s incorporation papers appear to be in order… they conform with the incorporated documents found for many such businesses. It alleviates the requirement for multiple single documents … The Mayor is not precluded from doing business in the town…just as Comm. Silverstone is not as a “pension planner” working on Commercial Blvd. … The Mayor when asked by this writer if she had any conflict of interest with any votes made in the prior 2 years answered “No.” The Mayor did recuse herself in two such cases and is on the record doing so…with the garbage contract and the recent extension for a development… In fact the Mayor’s actions to recuse herself on both go to prove how easy it is to do so and how simple the “ethics” ordinance that she and Comm. Dodd want to pass, really is!…
The Vice Mayor’s actions…as “old politician” rather than “old cop”….. shows the voters that this commissioner is an embarrassing one-term mistake! …
I can assure you, more of the same will be coming our way over the next 4 months…from McIntee , Silverstone (He is NOT a nice guy!),Clottey and Furth …..fearmongering full blast……Railing against the “boogyman”… the “developers”…”unions” (still so amusing when you have to know…theMcIntees are both on 3 full union pensions as longtime union members)…” business”… “Old Guard”… All the 2006/2008 “tried and true” election- time Furth-style mantras…at all costs… Because if they lose…they are sidelined…and left to lick their egotistical “we are irreplaceable”) wounds…and for the McIntees and the Furths…being inconsequential is their worst nightmare!…
This anonymous letter and the actions taken by the Town Manager have further cemented this writer’s opinion of how deceptive she is………So much for claims made during her pseudo manager review declarations of having independence and fairness for ALL commissioners on the dais!…
We the taxpayers will now be paying for yet another political witch hunt courtesy of both….
Just as the Vice Mayor’s countless past use of the Town law firm for his personal vendettas…this one will also go down the drain with taxpayer dollars…….
Wake up voters…get the word out…and make 2010 in LBTS a McIntee Free Zone!…
more to come…
