Does anyone know the outcome of the Ethics Commission meeting?

After a hearing, held on June 2nd, the Board of Ethics dismissed the complaint on the grounds of lack of evidence.

Was the decision really that there was a "lack of evidence", or was it that what evidence that was presented wasn't sufficient to show that an ethical violation occurred?

Who cares it's over, let sleeping dogs lie. It's time to move on.

Oldetowne, I believe, although I was not present, that the unanimous vote was due to the evidence not supporting the "unfounded (my words)" charge.

Wow, talk about persistance! After reading the article in the Courant, I am wondering if Rodd's actions are truly following the democratic process or merely an attempt at continuing to muck up the process. It reminds me of the pickup games when I was younger and the reactions of those that didn't get their way.
Good thing he cannot take his ball and go home; but leaving the ball and going home is still an option.

It just seems to me that Mr Rodd is calling the kettle black. By virtue of what he is saying about his concerns over property values for his home, isn't he really in a conflict of interest situation?   |

Rodd's position that he is protecting the neighborhood implies that he has a vested interest since he obstensively owns a house in that neighborhood. Also, I gotta say that as a taxpayer in town, I don't appreciate the filing of frivelous complaints that drain our legal resources. If Rodd doesn't want to live next to the field the simple solution is to move elsewhere!

Not sure what "obstensively" means, but if bidding on a job that you help write the specs for isn't a conflict of interest, I don't see how anyone can seriously claim that living within a 1/4 mile of a public project is. And, if the claims are so frivolous, they shouldn't take very much legal time to resolve.
