The Representative Town Meeting's New Members First Legislative Actions Were To Vote On RTM Moderator Thomas Byrne And Moderator Pro Tempore Joan Caldwell's Incumbent Positions Of Authority.This Was An Ugly, Confusing And Messy Process.
Then The New RTM Members Had To Witness Mr. Byrne's Repeated Harangues As Several Members Tried To Amend The Legislative Body's Minutes From The January Meeting.
All The RTM Members Wanted To Do Was To Reflect The Fact That Mr. Byrne Had Cast A Vote After The Vote Denying Paul Curtis A Second RTM Vote Against Joan Caldwell.
The Angry Moderator Did Not Want His Unorthodox Actions To Be Reflected In The Minutes.
The Fact Is, That Mr. Byrne Should Have Recused Himself As Moderator During The Debate And Discussion Of His Controversial Voting Maneuver.
Ms. Caldwell Is Now Viewed As A Paper Tiger Who Is Propped Up Only By Mr. Byrne's Underhanded And Questionable Voting Methods.
The News Around Town Is That New RTM Members Have Complained To Byrne Some In Writing, And Some In Person.
The New RTM Members Are Asking, "How Can They Serve Their Legislative Districts Properly If We Have To Be Afraid Of Speaking Our Minds."
No New RTM Member Wants To Be Publicly Dressed Down By An Out Of Control Moderator On Cable TV As He Tries To Represent His Or Her Area Of Town.
Byrne's Behaviour At The March RTM Meeting Was A Poor Civics Lesson For The Newly Elected Members.
What Did The New RTM Members Think As They Witnessed An Irate Byrne Blast Out "I Am Not Recognizing You, Mr. von Keyserling, Excuse, Mr. von Keyserling, You Do Not Have The floor."
The Town Voters Expects The RTM to Be Transparent And Open.
It Is Disgusting That Byrne Has Brought Partisan Politics Into The RTM Moderators Position.
