Brooklyn marshal files complaints

JustAFeller Friday, October 8, 2010: 12:27 pm

Friends, this is the same stuff that we've been talking about down here for a long time. The continued inability of the Brooklyn Town Council to let go of Terry Carlyle and move on. The continued inability of the Brooklyn Town Council to exercise power for any gains except for their own jollies and kicks. The Council was warned about the overtime situation as it dealt with Carlyle, yet their own inept attorney at the time did nothing about it. Marshal Hester has done nothing except build the rapport between the Brooklyn Police Department and county, state, and local agencies. He is an active role in the community beyond that of his predecessor, and he has taken our police department leaps and bounds above what it had been in years past. He's a positive ray of light in the darkness that is Brooklyn town politics, and it's a shame if every available citizen in the Town isn't out on the lawn, protesting the good Reverend Sams and company's recent attempt to demote the Marshal and promote someone they can pull the strings on. Friends, on the first Tuesday in November, we can stop the Sams-Boles express from running our beloved town down the train tracks to destruction and we can make a choice in the right direction. This incident just goes to show that the town needs a change away from what has been to what needs to be. As to the last poster's statement, I sincerely hope that the national news media grabs a hold of this and takes it sky high. Marshal Hester and the citizens of this town deserve better than this lot.
