I went to the “Town of Woodstock official website” to see how they posted the results of the referendum. The Cafe had posted the results at 8:20 PM Tuesday night front-and-center on the home page to satisfy a flurry of visitors looking for the vote. There was no mention of the referendum on the front page of the Town site. I had to dig into the news’ to find the results. Also, on the First Selectman’s page the only entry was one about Ms. Wholean’s trip to Goree Island with the Academy (fascinating, but who paid?). The annual budget referendum is a uniquely important event for Woodstock … so you’d think that the First Selectman would arrange to have the results on the front page.

Then I began to think about who was behind this website. Of course, there’s no secret that it’s Mr. Rosendahl who is also behind that other website that we call CPSacademy dot com. Mr. Rosendahl is also famous for video-taping members of the BOE during their meetings and posting selective video snippets at his other site (why not the Town site?). Also, Mr. Rosendahl placed himself on sacred ground under a canopy within 20 feet of the exit door of the polls yesterday (June 5th, REFERENDUM DAY) to entice or to bother voters (see Chuckles and Bowman’s comments under Bowman’s article) to sign an anti-BOE petition … not a Town Hall function. Ms. Wholean has clearly aligned herself with Rosendahl by co-authoring and helping to get signatures for that petition, and entertaining his presence within the Town Hall building and on Town Hall grounds. The relationship goes further in that Rosendahl is the main architect of the new “official Town Website” a year and a half in the making. Read the rest of this entry »
