The Flynn Campaign Against Laura Continues

Flynn sent the following email to Laura, with copies to Bruce and Mary, after this Monday's meeting:

"Madame Chairman
 
I and other members of the Egremont Board of Selectman  were disappointed that you were not in attendance at last night’s meeting of the Board.  This was especially disconcerting considering that Mr. Tom Scanlon of the firm Scanlon and Associates was at the meeting to brief us and the community on the results of the recently completed audit his firm performed on the Town of Egremont finances for fiscal year 2012.  You being chair of the Finance Committee, I would have expected that you would have been there with your entire committee to hear his report and the factual discussion of the Management Letter, the Significant Deficiencies, and other matters.  However and fortunately, the Finance Committee was well represented by Tom Berkel, Ed Scarbro, and Ralph Noveck.
 
For your benefit and that of the entire town,  Mary will post the official management letter and accompanying report on the town’s website on Wednesday or Thursday when it is received as the Board of Selectmen released it officially to the public last evening as prior to last evening it was only an unofficial draft. 
 
Lukewarm Regards
 
Charles Flynn"
 
Laura sent the following email response to Flynn, with copies to Bruce, Mary and the finance committee members:
 
Your snotty e-mail to me of 11/5/13  is further evidence of your never ending campaign to force me off the finance committee.  You might spend your time more profitably doing your homework before taking hasty and often ill-advised actions at selectboard meetings.   My very best contributions to the town take place in the long hours I spend evaluating and making recommendations about town actions and in actions by the selectboard and others, not in attending selectboard meetings, especially if ill.  In my opinion the town would be better served if you attended fewer of them.

You've got to understand that Charlie is a sad and nasty little man. Hs anger runs deep for not being accepted for various School administrative positions. He still thinks he's in the Navy. Of course, those that know him realize his behavior is the reason he is so ignored by so many! You've just got to ignore his buffoonery and bullying. He's truly not worth anyone's effort. In the end, he's just not that smart. In his case ignorance isn't bliss, it's delusional.

It's interesting he's writing, apparently, representing the board's feeling, but signs off with such disrespect. I doubt Bruce and Mary have such feelings.

Bottom line... he's a fool.

I would be interesting to know what Bruce thinks.

But then Bruce hasn't learned how to talk.
