Mr. Kadelski suggests that turnover in certain town positions reflects a problem with my leadership, yet he provides no evidence to support that claim.
People leave public positions for many reasons, including personal, professional, and family obligations. It is unfair and speculative to attribute every departure to a single elected official.
Rather than relying on insinuations, I encourage residents to review the facts surrounding any departures and draw their own conclusions based on the public record.
I believe unsupported accusations and personal attacks do more harm to volunteerism than disagreement ever could. When people are repeatedly blamed for problems without evidence, it creates a hostile environment that discourages residents from serving their community.
We should encourage civic participation, respectful debate, and fact-based discussion—not speculation and personal attacks.
It's taxing to endure continuous criticisms and personal attacks while trying to focus on public health. I'm not perfect. No one is. And not everyone likes regulations, I get it. But attacking someone just for doing their job whose goal is to protect the public health of the community isn't right. We can't always please everyone, but we can't give special treatment to a few. Our health directors are trained and they do the best job they can. We should be supporting them not looking for ways to undercut them.
I support the work of our health coalition. It had to be built from the ground up- It's a work in progress, but what is the alternative? Winks and nods? The town simply cannot absorb that kind of liability.
The residents of Brookfield deserve proper Title V installations, clean air, food that is safe to eat, water that is safe to drink. This shouldn't be controversial.
