Community Corner

Heads in the sand

I am appalled that my fellow Montville councilors see nothing to be alarmed about with the State reneging on their agreement with the town by releasing dangerous sex offenders into the community instead of their community of origin. When I requested a special meeting to discuss our legal options and answer to the public,   Buebendorf and company declined. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised  because it was  Beubendorf, Caron and Jaskiewicz who pushed for this MOU (memorandum of understanding) with the State instead of continuing our legal fight to keep the facility out of Montville, even going as far as undermining our efforts  by  publicly claiming we were  wasting taxpayer money  on a fight we couldn’t win.

The results of our agreeing to this bogus MOU have now put our neighbors in Norwich and New London at risk as well as our own residents. One can now only wonder if we held on a little longer in our legal fight, could we have prevailed. I guess we’ll never know. One thing is for sure, DON’T TRUST THE STATE!!!                       Dana  McFee
