I thought Coyne ran on the notion he would work together with the board.

Well, he is working with part of the board-the same part that worked against Mayor Gross.

Working together is not the same as blind agreement.

Mayor Coyne and Mark Edsall stated that Paul Weber is not interested in the Chief of Police position yet others who have spoken with Paul, to include Trustee Gosda and my husband, have said that Paul would be willing to be the Chief if that is what the residents want. I am sure that when he met with the mayor and Trustee Edsall and they told him that he was not going to be reappointed he accepted their decision. That does not mean that he is not interested or willing to do the job. Why would the mayor want to get rid of an honorable man who has done everything he can to support the village board and this community?

Paul Weber was a knowledgeable and efficient Chief, a "good cop," in the best sense of that term -- and nobody's patsy. Plus, he did precisely what the previous board asked him to do in finding ways to cut costs, then got scapegoated for the solution that the board unanimously had supported before the December mob scene.

What we have developed here is a classic negative filter for talent.

What professional worth his or her salt would want to come into such an environment?
