As much as I like this Town, my ability to serve in Town Government has been compromised by what I believe to be serious violations of the Public Trust by another elected official, Ciskowski wrote. My moral convictions and what I hold as true are more powerful than my like for helping out with local government. Ciskowski wrote that around the time of Town Administrator Edmund St. John IV s departure late last year, he felt he had experienced state ethics violations and Open Meeting Law violations while on the board. I contemplated filing with the appropriate State agencies my concerns, but at this point, hold that it is best for the taxpayers and voters for me to remain silent, he wrote.
