Glad to see the Vindy is on top of the Belinky BS offensive. Publicly, he's as transparent as his robes. I think he may be trying to frame the only commissioner to oppose his will to stack the board with lawyer politicos willing to use the park for everything but the public good. To that end, his two appointees conducted an underhanded, sham "investigation" of a good employee and used their bogus findings to force Imbrogno out, raising justifiable fears of a lawsuit.When their sub rosa activity was publicly opposed by the board president, they tried to claim their high handed use of taxpayer funds to avoid a suit was a unanimous board decision, which it clearly was not. So why has this teapot tempest been manufactured? If you can prove that, you will restore my flagging faith in the fourth estate as the partner of the people in uncovering the truth.
His honor may be focused on stacking the board with three more of his own appointees to join Macejko and Nunziato, both of them practicing attorneys. Could that be a conflict of interest if they appear in Probate Court? Maybe the Vindy could help inform the public why Imbrogno was asked to resign, why that request could lead Nunziato to the conclusion that there could be litigation as a result and why two of three commissioners appointed by Belinky, feel entitled to spend our money to forego any threat of litigation. It might also be useful to take note, now, of what companies hold which contracts for various park services. As Belinky can only appoint and fire Board members, odds are good that a board full of hand picked "yes men" will be needed for his "transparent" administration to gain sharper focus on controlling the park.

‘Stay focused,’ Belinky tells park board
