Letter: 'Important Easton Election Issues'

To The Editor:

The flyer Bob Natt sent to Easton homes was racially offensive, deceitful, slanderous, and devoid of facts. Insinuating that Jeff Parker divulged student personal information is slanderous and not true. If it were true, Parker would have been fired immediately. Jeff Parker shared four emails which are public documents. End of story.

These Jeff Parker emails are a huge diversion from the fact that Easton first selectmen Bindelglass just tried to sell one of Easton's most precious town-owned assets part of South Park Avenue property without public knowledge or due process and he got caught by selectman Kristi Sogofsky, Jeff Parker and watchdog taxpayers, who forced him to delay the selectmen’s vote on the sale until a new contract was drawn up that stipulates proper warnings, obtains the necessary 824 referral, holds a PUBLIC HEARING AND VOTE – statutorily required to buy, sell or lease our town land.

This occurred two days after a town meeting where the sale of our South Park Ave. property was not on the agenda for discussion and four days prior to voting on a Land Use Ordinance. FS Bindelglass called an emergency special meeting of selectmen after seeking legal counsel on how to circumvent the public and avoid due process and then attempted to sign a contract to sell part of the South Park property without public knowledge or input. He was caught in the act.

To date we have not seen the signed contract, nor the legal opinion that Bindelglass claims he obtained which allows him to sign this contract without the statutory obligations and due process it requires. The town should be focusing on these very serious issues and holding First Selectmen Bindelglass accountable.
