Ed Edelson Asks for your vote? Blaims half truths?

The truth is Ed tried to quiet an employee of the town who spoke at a board of Selectman's meeting with two weeks off without pay.
The truth is that Ed rushed to build a side walk to feather his campaign and is a problem. 
The truth is that Ed has violated zoning regulations and will not take responsibility for doing so. Blaming others.
The truth is Ed tried to hide a serious loss of a major piece of highway equipment and did not disclose it the other selectmen. The cost is to be determined.
The truth is that Ed gave a $230,000 no bid contract to an engineering company because he felt he could.
The truth is that Ed took most of the credit for the Training School Farm when  Art O'Neal worked for many years to get it done.
The truth is that Ed had the town highway department plow and clear Heritage Village while parts of SOUTHBURY were still unable to get out. There are pictures.
The truth is that Ed had the town violate wetland regulations on Hulls Hill Road while the town holds a $10,000 bond on a private citizen.
The truth is that Ed took money from the EDC and put it back when he was confronted. Finding another fund to take it from so he could have his party with his Washington friends.Getting Chris Murphy to come to his fundraiser.
The truth is that Ed has a close personal relationship with the press.Making it difficult for the people to get unbiased information.Triggering a letter of retraction by the Voices.
These are not half truths. But even if the are they add up to a whole lot of expense and trouble for SOUTHBURY.
Many of Ed's supporters on the patch have quietly gone away because there are to many truths. As the truth came out the supporters turned to name calling instead of facts. This is a sure sign of the truth being told. I have been accused of using Nazi tactics. Since when is speaking the truth a Nazi tactic?
