At what point do we, who pay the bills, have a right to expect a FULL accounting of all co$t$ associated with "l'Affaire Vilchock?" This was promised to us in a board meeting well over a year ago. That's the 'simple' part.

The human cost; the cost in morale; the admitted dysfunction; the damage done to the reputations of the town, the department and the Vilchocks - these cannot be measured.

One is inclined to wonder whether a problem was solved, or one was created. And - what have we, the residents of town, done to deserve this?

And, Skip, in response to your final question - "Not I", said the little red hen.

I found this statement interesting! "So all this talk in town that we voted for 24/7 years ago was wrong. It was voted for 24/6. Sunday was always left vacant, covered by part-time or per diem help." The presentation to Townspeople was 24/7 coverage. It was never indicated by what level of coverage would be provided. As the statement indicates "Sunday was always left vacant, COVERED BY PART-TIME OT PER DIEM HELP. Sounds like the shifts were covered to me!!! For those that don't know, the Sunday shift was typically covered by Chief Vilchock and Lieutenant Vilchock. Now after termination, this shift is apparently not filled. Again, please explain the value in termination!!!
