more trouble for Mayor Kiss
Adam Cate,The Burlington Waterfront supervisor.Who has been suspended with pay since June is appealing the case that was brought up by Parks Director Wayne Gross. Mayor Kiss wants to close the case against Adam Cate. There are lingering questions that need to addressed before that happens. Why have we not heard from Wayne Gross? Why is Adam still suspended, when no crime was committed? What was the cost of the investigation? What happened to Mayor Kisses open government? The city council clearly was left in the dark and received little information. Again this shows the problems we have with the Kiss administration. I have been disappointed in this administration have you?

Interveiw with Larkin Forney for state senate
1. I am running because over two years ago I was stalked and falsely accused, and I witnessed a serious lack of integrity in the legal system when their was no investigation and in the judicial system when I was wrongfully convicted/violated by the same judge who had previously ignored a restraining order against Brian Rooney. I don't think it is good for the system or society when lies are more important than the truth, and the people in charge of "judging" things make such bad determinations as is indicated in my situation. More about my situation can be read at my website, http://justiceforvermonters.org/.
2. Kids need protected from actual predators and pedophiles, and I would say that we need to use our resources to protect our children from people who prey on them, not everybody who is charged or convicted of some sort of "sex offense." I would say that anyone charged with a sex offense, such as sexual assault on a minor, which has a broad range of different conditions behind the charge, should be evaluated by a certified psychosexual evaluator to determine if they are predatory or pedophilic, or whether the relationship was consensual, and other mitigating circumstances that could arise from things such as a teen lying about his or her age. Those who are diagnosed to be predators or pedophiles should be held in jail for life, because I don't believe they can be treated. Anybody charged and convicted with sexual assault or contact with a person under 10 years old shall get a maximum of 20 years, unless if they are diagnosed predators or pedophiles, at which point they would serve life. We need to use our resources for actual predators and pedophiles, and not fill our jails with people who aren't actual dangers, but may have broken a "sex offense" law by peeing in an alley and getting charged with indecent exposure instead of public urination, and a person who has consensual relations with a sexually active lying teenager and a person who actually molests children or forces themselves on women.
3. I would start by having a couple more shelters built or opened in parts other parts of Chittenden County. Affordable housing is dependent on the supply and demand market. Right now, since there is a crisis, prices are low, but people are still going to have problems affording even seemingly affordable prices. As your Senator, I can't make a house that you can afford, but I can help reform laws and regulations to make it easier for businesses to come into Vermont to create more jobs so more people can afford a house, as well as encouraging other developers to come into Vermont to create more competition and thereby reducing prices on other existing properties.
4. I would support closing Vermont Yankee, if they continue to have problems that could endanger Vermont's citizens and environment, if their decommissioning fund isn't fully funded by 2012, and it is economically safe for ratepayers to afford electicity by other means, then I would support fully closing Yankee with the option of suing Entergy for the remaining costs in the decommissioning fund so that taxpayers are not left with the bill.
5. My goals for my first term would be to make sex offender laws more effective by preventing predators and pedophiles from ever having the chance of harming another child, woman, or even man again, and making sure resources are used for that instead of scapegoating somebody for having consensual sex with a lying sexually active teen who may have already been the product of abuse which should have been stopped sooner, but real predators and pedophiles are hard to catch. I would support an Internet task force in Vermont dedicated to catching people who are seeking people underage. I think the age of consent law should be reconsidered to 14, so that a lying 14 year old can't cause problems for somebody else by having consensual sex with them. Parents need to also pay more attention to what their kids are doing, and teens, and educating them, because the police can't be everywhere, and society really doesn't want them everywhere. We have to do what we can to protect and educate our kids ourselves so that they make the right decisions not to have sex with anybody, even their own age, when they are 14, but if they do, then it shouldn't be a crime, if it is consensual.
I would also legalize hemp (oil) and marijuana. More about my views with those can be viewed at my website as well.
I would also do things that would encourage more businesses to come to Vermont to provide more jobs, and possibly loosen some of the 2,000 mandates on insuarance providers so that more providers come to Vermont and make health insurance premiums more competitive and more affordable in the long-run.
Closing Statement:
Over two years ago, you would have never seen me in politics. I used to be a very introverted person, who just wanted to be left alone and be a part of my daughter's life, but then I was stalked and falsely accused by her mother's friend. The system went out of it's way to make the charges stick, didn't investigate anything, and wasted thousands of tax dollars in the process, just so they could prevent a precedent from being sent by allowing justice to prevail. If they had conducted an investigation, then they would have realized my daughter's mother and the person who falsely accused me was her friend, and that is why she did it--to help her friend eliminate me from my daughter's life, while they, actual predators and pedophiles, abuse my daughter, born 11-15-02, and my words and concerns are discredited because of a lying sexually active teenger. A lot of the things the system does doesn't make sense. Politicians make laws that say sex with teens is wrong, but then they're caught with pre-teen children, and sexually active teens are usually the products of abusive homes.
I have a lot of integrity and honesty, and I am courageous enough to admit when I'm wrong, and I am strong enough to fight when I'm wronged.
I have survived a lot of things, and I am stronger and wiser because of them. My past is my past, and the last time I got in trouble was in 2002, when games were being played surrounding the conception of my daughter, while her mother's friend pursued me and lied to me about her age.
I would fight to have a system that functions for justice and actually protecting society and preventing crime with things that actually work like a good early education with good schools and teachers, and more jobs in Vermont.
While I have no actual experience, I am a fast learner, and I would be shown everything I need to know after election, before being sworn in, and ready to hit the floor running by January, 2009. I am worth a vote, because you will always know at least where I come from and that I am not hiding anything.

McNeil still with the city
Joe McNeil's law firm is still work for the city of Burlington as John Briggs a Free Press Staff Writer report in the artical below. Again, Kiss fails the city of Burlington again for spending our money. He has resigned and still getting our money. This is wrong, what is wrong with Kiss he is not thinking at all.
City Still has confidence in McNeil
Despite resignation attoney's firm doing work for Burlington
The law firm of Joseph McNeil, who resigned as city attorney for Burlington after admitting a close relationship with a city consultant, continues to receive considerable payments for city legal work.
City officials plan no change in that arrangement despite a court decision this month that revealed a second relationship between McNeil and a city official and found that McNeil did nothing to head off conflicts of interest represented by the two relationships.
Burlington has paid the law firm of McNeil, Leddy and Sheahan more than $599,000 since McNeil resigned in early April 2007, city records indicate.Mayor Bob Kiss said last week the city has received good value for the money and will continue to use McNeil and other attorneys from the firm. The mayor said the judicial finding has not changed his view.
The Burlington Free Press sued in Washington Superior Court to force the release of a number of e-mails exchanged on the city's computer system between McNeil and two women. Superior Court Judge Brian Grearson released his decision earlier this month.
McNeil resigned following disclosure in the Free Press of his relationship with zoning consultant Owiso Makuku. McNeil, who is married, formed a relationship with her when she worked in the Planning and Zoning Department and then arranged for her to work for him on the city's zoning rewrite at approximately double her rate of city pay.
Makuku submitted her hourly work records to McNeil, who approved them for payment.Simultaneously, Grearson wrote in his decision, McNeil had a close relationship with Karen Wingate, the former assistant to Mayor Peter Clavelle's chief administrative officer, Brendan Keleher. After Keleher resigned in fall 2005, Wingate became the interim CAO and held that position until the Kiss administration took office in April 2006.
Makuku could not be reached for comment. Wingate did not respond to a request for comment.Grearson based his opinion on his review of more than 1,500 e-mails sought by the Free Press. The e-mails were between McNeil and Makuku and between McNeil and Wingate.
Grearson said the e-mails "would lead a reasonable person to believe" that McNeil had "a close personal relationship of a romantic nature for an extended period of time" with both Makuku and Wingate. His relationship with Wingate, Grearson said, extended to the period when she headed the city's financial office.
Grearson said those relationships created a conflict of interest for McNeil as he provided legal guidance for the city.The judge did not release e-mails sought by the Free Press, citing the likelihood they would be embarrassing to McNeil, Makuku and Wingate if they were made public.
Neither Makuku nor Wingate works for the city.In his resignation letter, McNeil apologized for what he called a "lapse of judgment" that created an "appearance of a conflict," but strongly defended the quality of Makuku's work. In an e-mail Friday to the Free Press, McNeil said that in his work on the zoning ordinance, "I applied the same pride of workmanship I had applied over the 37 years I was the city's chief legal officer."
Keleher told the Free Press in 2007 that he had not been aware of McNeil's relationship with Makuku, and former Mayor Peter Clavelle declined comment. This week both declined to comment for this article.
Grearson said he could find no indication in the e-mails he examined that McNeil "took any significant steps to mitigate any conflicts of interest related to these relationships" or that city officials did. Grearson noted that all three individuals held "important positions" in city government.
Kiss said McNeil's firm has had two contracts with the city since his resignation, both reviewed by the Board of Finance and the City Council.Those contracts were accepted, he said, "clearly because of the skills Joe brings to this position and the long history and experience he has."
He said McNeil had "disclosed he had a close relationship with Owiso that could create an appearance of a conflict of interest, and he resigned." Kiss added that an independent audit of the billing for Makuku's contract, which paid her more than $213,000 from November 2004 to early 2007 and provided her with health insurance, revealed no billing problems.
"Out of this," Kiss said, "what we've continued to do is appreciate Joe's forthrightness in this ... situation."McNeil acknowledged the relationship with Makuku after inquiries by the Free Press. He did not publicly acknowledge the relationship with Wingate. In his e-mail Friday to the Free Press he noted he was not a party in the Free Press' e-mail suit and said he would "not engage in any discussion or debate (of) any aspect" of the case.
The independent audit cited by Kiss confirmed that the city had paid the bills for Makuku submitted by McNeil and reconciled some bills with meetings both attended.
Kiss said Oct. 10 he was unsure whether the Human Resources Department has changed or clarified the policy on personal relationships between city workers. He said the city relies on "self-disclosure" to allow the city to adjust working relationships to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
He said in the case of McNeil's acknowledgement of his relationship with Makuku, "there is room to judge whether that was timely or not."McNeil's resignation and the departure of Makuku and Wingate, he said, "in some respects," made questions of a conflict of interest a moot point. Kiss said he had no plans to consult the state's Professional Responsibility Board or "pursue anything in regard to (McNeil's) professional conduct."
Figures provided by the Clerk-Treasurer's Office in 2007 showed that the firm of McNeil, Leddy and Sheahan was paid a total of $2,616,959 by the city (including work for Burlington Electric Department and the School District) for fiscal years 2003 midway through fiscal year 2007. The firm was paid $602,969 in fiscal year 2005 and $585,236 in fiscal year 2006.Contact John Briggs at 660-1863 or jbriggs@bfp.burlingtonfreepress.com

moran heading back to the ballot
Local Action Works has begain to petition the moran, it reads "shall the city of Burlington be advised to revoke the $21 million proposal to renovate and redvelop the moran plant with the understanding that the voters have lost confidence in the way proposal agreement has been proceeding?"
dump Kiss
It is time for Kiss to go, but he is not the only one. The progs have slowly killed the city over the years. Burlington was a great place with energy now it is gone. We had night clubs, stores that everyone could shop without spending all of your money. Under Kiss we had two bad elections, westlake, moran but no affordable housing wow.
