Ed Edelson the environmentalist?

Mr. Edelson say he is an environmentalist but his actions speak different. The Inland Wetland Commission on October 11 had to approve an application after the fact by the town of SOUTHBURY.The work was almost completed. Very embarrassing for the Wetlands Commission. Tom Crow the town engineer has been before the commission a number of times before and promised that it would not happen again. Mr.Crow and the Town Of SOUTHBURY violated the Inland Wetlands regulations.Why is it that Tom Crow would do this again? Why is it that Mr.Edelson ,who was a member of the Wetlands Commission,not discipline a town employee for knowingly violating Wetlands regulations. Yet if an employee of the town speaks at a town meeting he is threatened with two weeks off without pay. Is it because Mr.Edelson told him to get the project done before the election? Freedom of information request would not come out in time to know the truth. But I am sure if the employee was to be disciplined he would probably speak up. How about all of the Edelson supporters coming out and saying that violating Wetland Regulations is ok. The town has a $10,000 bond on a private citizen because they violated Wetlands Regulations. But if it is Ed Edelson it is ok? Ask the Democrats who sit on the board if this happened.But if it helps Ed Edelson get elected they will probably not speak of this.Shame Shame.
