The Police Commission had a Special Meeting Monday night at the Beach House. It appeared to be have all hallmarks of a boring meeting. The Commission was just carrying over the agenda from last week's meeting that was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum. Monday night, however, was anything but boring. First the Commissioners read a letter from Chief Gallo banishing the Commissioners from EHPD property without his consent. The Chief also forbade employees of the department from discussing anything having to do with the police matters with the Commissioners. Then a letter from the US Attorney handling the litigation was read warning the Maturo Administration from engaging in retaliation against anyone who gave information concerning the ongoing Federal investigation. The Commission thought the Chief's letter crossed the line into possible obstruction of justice.
Just when I thought the night was winding down the Commission decided they needed their own attorney since the Town Attorney had, what they feel is, a conflict. So the Commssion voted to retain Attorney Patty Cofrancesco as their attorney in this matter.
This is a video worth watching. Due to a short error at the beginning of the video there is no sound until I remembered to turn on the mic. The silence only lasts for a few seconds into the meeting itself. Enjoy and remember, in East Haven nothing is dull with our local pols.
