Dear Village Board, Town Board and Village Staff --

I don't know why Brian threw Jean Gallucci under the bus and blamed her for advising him to eliminate positions.

I just got off the phone with Jean, and she is furious. Since she doesn't use email often, I figured I'd let everyone know that, no: our former Clerk-Treasurer did not recommend eliminating the office she ran and helped design. She also did not advise anyone to fire her husband. That one should have seemed obvious.

In fact, Jean tells me she didn't advise the HR Committee on a thing.

I would normally try to assume the best, and think that maybe Brian got confused somewhere. Except he took the time to write a letter and have it distributed. If he did so without bothering to find out if Jean did, in fact, give this advice, then frankly, it would be par for the course for the caliber of his work.

Trust me: from now on I will be watching you like a hawk and publicly exposing every lie you tell. You have pick choices moving forward as far as I can see.

1) Grow up and spend the last few months of your career in public service finally doing your job, ending on a high note.
2) Continue the way you are and look forward to months of my mercilessly cutting you down live on TV every time you try to fuck with someone like this again. And unlike you, I will have references and footnotes. Trust me when I tell you I will win every single political and PR fight you try to pick.
3) Wait out the last few months of your term by sitting silently while the grownups talk.
4) Quit.

Pick one. Personally, I have no preference.

And don't ever treat the staff, volunteers or electeds as callously as you have ever again.

Jason
