Edelson continues invective against ACO Stephens

Citizens, The taxpayer expenditure of $27K (rumored figure, yet to be confirmed officially) to learn from an independent investigator that Martha Stephens was simply doing her job when Ed Edelson lodged grievances against her last winter, has not been a sufficient waste of our money on this matter!  Ed Edelson and his aide Ms. Hubert have continued to devote their time and attention on making Ms. Stephens' job as difficult as it ever was even with 31 dogs to attend to on a daily basis.  While not missing a beat to congratulate himself in the press for a job well done in the handling of the Boeckel cruelty case -- self-aggrandizing that effort repeatedly in carefully placed media articles -- he is still riding herd on Martha.  The latest:  Refusing to reimburse her for the cost of attending State mandated training authorized by her supervisor, removing her as the Southbury ACO Facebook page administrator and more!  This isn't all by a long shot but it should be enough outrage anyone who knows about Martha's incredible work getting animals cared for and adopted out to good homes.  She has been soldiering on in the face of great adversity on the job - and she deserves our support once again.  BoS meeting is tonight at 7:30 PM.
