Analysis of Wettlaufer’s August 17th Stunt.
Wettlaufer gave one of his “performances” during the last meeting of the Board of Selectmen. His elaborate scheme to attack his opponent Raymond Korny is disingenuous at best. Wettlaufer did what he does best, misinform the community in an attempt to further his own agenda, read more»Edit - Delete

HOW LONG HAS THIS CONFLICT OR VIOLATION OF RAY SERVING TWO TOWN POSITIONS BEEN IN PLACE? WHICH CAME FIRST AND IF IT'S SO CRITICAL TO THE TOWNS WELL BEING WHY IS IT ONLY BEING DEALT WITH NOW. HAS ANYONE NOTIFIED HOMELAND SECURITY?

too long..
Some readers find this piece too long. It is always easier to soil some one's name than to restore some one's reputation.
In essence, what happened here is that Wettlaufer is deceiving the community (or simply put, lying) by claiming openly Korney would be in violation of a state ethics law and that the only way the situation could be remedied would be by putting an article on next year's warrant for the annual town meeting so the voters could approve Korny's appointment.
What Wettlaufer failed to tell the community at the last selectboard meeting is that the Board of Selectmen could simply appoint Korny to fill the vacancy as they do on a regular basis and be done with it.
The argument to back up my claim is made by Lauren Goldberg, ESQ., Kopelman & Page, attorneys at law.

Not too long
Not too long. When you accuse a leader of the community of lying to those that elected him it is good to include as much info as you can. Especially when dealing with the voters that elected this idiot.

Is there anybody out there
I think one of the main problems with our town hall is that so many people and their families hold multiple positions on diffrent boards. They use the reasoning that there is nobody willing to hold the position so they do us the "favor" of taking on multiple roles. Is there nobody in the entire town that is willing to take a position from a person who sits on many diffrent boards? I would think that there would be someone willing to take their spot.

?? R. U. Willing..??
R U Willing..you asked....... "Is there nobody in the entire town that is willing to take a position from a person who sits on many different boards? I would think that there would be someone willing to take their spot." ..GOOD QUSTION !!!!!... Well here is one answer to your idealistic inquiry..YES...I was a participant at a public hearing in our conservation office where there was a lack of a quorum and the board had advertised for more members. Well one person came forward and offered to server the town on the Commission. ... I was flabbergasted when they said No... With no quorum present they acted and said no.. They said the person could not sit on "their" board because he was " "friendly with LaMountain"...This was an educated ethical person offering to donate his time , experience and energy to the Town of Holland...!!!
Another time , Stacy Quinnones tried to run against Earl Johnson during the Land-Gate construction phase.....Earl was also a member of the planning board and the board of assessors at that time..It was reported by a Police Officer that Earl Johnson and and Disgraced Police Chief Kevin Gleason conspired to terrorize this woman for daring to run against him. She sued him and the town and was awarded a large amount of money from the town to settle the case. Wettlaufer said it was a "business decision" to pay her. Carolyn Reardon was a write in candidate for assessor when earl held both Selectmen and assessor position. Earl campaigned for re-election to the position even though the State DOR had declared it to be a conflict to hold both seats in their latest audit of our town. After the election Carolyn's property became the subject of a zoning enforcement action initiated by Wettlaufer and Johnson. ...MANY OFFICIALS IN OUR TOWN HALL CAN NOT TAKE SCRUTINY OR OVERSIGHT by outsiders or more Town Officials will go to Jail...My question to U is Are you willing to step up? ???????
SCUTTLEBUTT NOTE ......X Holland Police Chief and good friend of the Johnson Clan Kevin Gleason is confined to his new diggs until the bracelet comes off of his ankle. I hope he has a computer and can find his next victim..ooops I mean Girlfriend...

Can't Complain about Johnson
Sounds like Ray filed all the legal paperwork and made all legal disclosures to occupy the positions.,
Seems more like our evil empire in the selectman, assessors, conservation offices were lying when they said Ray was in a conflict that needed a Town Meeting...
Looks like ALL they had to do was sign on the dotted line...They have done it countloess times for themselves, their friends, and their family.
But we who are not brainwashed by the Bi-Weekly Selectman's variety act on channel 15 can see that the real reason Wettlooofer took Korney to the woodshed is because Ray complained about the Heir to the Holland Throne AKA Papa Peeties contaminated and corrupted offspring Brian Johnson.. who had custody of the ONLY other key to the brush dump and therefore most likely responsible for polluting the brush dump. We know Johnson has no respect for environmental laws he has proven that already. Hunker down Ray..The evil beast has his eye on you now.
