Barbara O'Sullivan's house fire: Delhi Volunteer Fire Department holds secret meetings and asks her to leave the meeting when she was invited there by the Department's Chief

Ok, so yesterday, Barbara O'Sullivan, the victim of a house fire that occurred under extremely suspicious circumstances suggesting arson, came to the Fire Hall in Delhi, NY, to attend a meeting of the Delhi Volunteer Fire Department.

The Volunteer Fire Department - according to the advisory opinion of the New York State Committee for Open Government - is subject to Open Meetings Law.

Moreover, Barbara was invited to that meeting personally by the Delhi Fire Department Chief Mr. Evans.

Yet, Tim Murray (husband of Delaware County Sheriff's Department dispatcher Michelle Murray, who is a Facebook friend of Sharon Reichert-Morgan, and participated in the hate-comment campaign of this blog's coverage of Barbara's house fire), as Barbara said, "took issue" with Barbara and her daughter being present at the meeting of the Delhi Fire Department, invoked his official status as alleged "Assistant Chief", and then, according to Barbara, "went into the bully mode" and demanded to know why Barbara and her daughter were at the Fire Hall.

And said that the meeting is not open to the public.

Well, guess what, since the Fire Department meetings are subject to Open Meetings Law, they must be open to the public, and the only time when they are not open to the public are when the Fire Department is going into an executive session, which can be done only at a properly noticed public meeting, with a proper announcement before the public.

I will FOIL the Delhi Fire Department to verify certain facts about compliance (or apparent noncompliance) with Open Meetings Law and publish the results here.

But, so far the "irregularities" with Barbara's house fire and how it was handled, continue.

Now, the Fire Department very obviously discussed their strategy o how to handle the case behind closed doors, at a meeting that was held in violation of Open Meetings Law.

Barbara's access to records of the Fire Department continues to be stalled, access to records of police agencies continues to be stalled, and she was now ousted from a meeting in the "Fire Hall" which very obviously was going to handle the issue of her house fire, and was supposed to be public and noticed to the public.

And, to add insult to injury, the deputy Chief of the Delhi Fire Department is the husband of a Delaware County Sheriff's employee who may have been involved in the case as a dispatcher, and who is also up to her ears in controversy based on her hateful Facebook comments in support of her friend Sharon Reichert-Morgan's own hateful comments AGAINST the victims of the house fire, where Reichert-Morgan spread the allegedly "confidential" information shared with his wife by Reichert-Morgan's husband and, when that information was published, backing out of it  (I saved the comments).

The land of kissing cousins, what can I say.

Stay tuned for the continued coverage of this case and the workings of the local clans in Delaware County that are pretending to be "the local government".
