I am writing this to add some details that were overlooked by Mr. Edsall. The law asks that the "nature extent of such interest" be disclosed. I don't think "he worked for me" fulfills the requirements. Think it leads to more questions .My charges note that the ethics law requires "substantial notice" and that the reporting minute having the recording secretary write what you said is giving substantial notice . The reason that the law requires disclosure in writing and in detail is so stories don't change. A further addition I would make to the story is both trustees had not recused themselves. I made the distinction between recusal, where you do not participate in discussion and leave the room so as not to affect the other voters and to abstain where you participate but don't vote.

also Mr Edsall should read the law thar resignations are filled by the mayor. If mr.Edsall has done no wrong why fight the appointment? Is a 3 person board that he approved 2 of the members.I wonder if the tatic is delay delay delay and it goes away.

oops! that resignations

One other correction I filed charges with a fellow planning board member Maryann Odell against Lee Murphy
