Wallingford Ethics Flap

It appears the recent decision by the Wallingford Ethics Board on a complaint filed against the mayor will not disappear. An op-ed piece submitted by Democratic town councilors ran in the R-J last week. In it, they questioned how the ethics board arrived at its decision. I think the councilors made some excellent points. The best way to resolve the issue would be to discuss it at an upcoming coun-cil meeting. The complaint deals with whether a public ordinance was handled properly by the mayor so there is no reason for it not to be discussed publicly. The councilors don’t need an ethics board ruling. They can simply ask questions of the mayor in public session as they do with other town business.

The complaint was the subject of the Weekly Wrap Up radio show I do each week with partner John Sullivan. To hear it simply go to www.sullivanoneonone.com
