Maturo misleading East Haven on when police problems started

How incredibly disingenuous of Mayor Joseph Maturo who, during his State of the Town message, described the problems in the East Haven Police Department as having “developed between 2007 and 2011.”
Anyone who has read the indictments of the arrested police officers knows that the problems go back before 2007 – when Maturo was mayor.
He also failed to note that it was Mayor Capone who suspended and attempted to fire the former police chief.
He also omitted the fact that one of his first actions upon returning to Town Hall was to reinstate that man – who we now know was an unindicted co-conspirator.
The only reason Maturo is now doing the right thing is because he is being told what to do by the Department of Justice – and he would like to take a pat on the back for that! His chutzpah continues to amaze.

I could not agree more with MR. Geelan. The Mayor either has a short term memory problem or willfully chooses to omit items of interest to town residents but history does not lie. Can the same be said for The Mayor?
