This was a comment in which a reader poised a rather interesting point concerning the integrity of Mr. Walt Doyle and the writers here at the HV Lies wanted to share it the other readers.
Is Walt Doyle Honest? Walt does not like Martino due to the fact that Martino did his job in making sure that Highway was following town procedure which is something no other Supervisor did when it came to accounts payable for Highway. Walt does not like people poking in his business because he does not want people to find any red flags that could possibly lead to the Walt fund. There is no hard proof, but the Walt fund is the kick backs that Walt probably gets from his buddies that do contract work for the town. I would not be surprised if Walt and some of these contract buddies over estimate jobs to compensate Walt for his pay cut. How it is that Costa estimated $185,000 for tree work in Hyde Park and Martino would not go for it and negotiated $75,000, (less than half). Where do you think that other money was going ( here you go Walt, here’s $5,000, thanks for giving me all the tree work in Hyde Park. After all, there are hundreds of tree cutting companies in the county. The tree cutting business is very cut throat, everyone is always trying to under bid anybody for a dollar. Anyone who has had tree work done knows this information and has experienced it. So way does Walt only use one tree service? Is Walt supposed to bid the work out to competitive wage and get bids by qualified companies? Did he get estimates from other companies or did Costa give this number because he knew that Walt would only use him and there would be no other price comparison. Something does not smell right. Let’s not forget about 15 years ago, Costa cost the town a lot of money when he marked trees after a storm when he went around and sprayed the trees with paint. He was supposed to mark the trees that needed to come down for the other tree crews could identify them. Costa marked the trees that had to come down with an X and trees that did not have to come down with an O. I guess he was the only one who knew this information and they all got cut down due to having paint on them. (Let’s not forget, Walt was in the Highway Dept. 15 years ago during this little mix up). You would think a mix up like that would lead the town to hire someone else. But Walt would not do that for one reason or another when he became Superintendent. If Walt was too lazy to drive around in the truck provided to him by the town and do storm damage estimates and mitigation and properly categorize every tree and branch that needed to be removed to show the tax payer s were their money is going, Than Walt should be brought up in front of the board of ethics for neglect of duty and be removed from duty for not properly controlling tax payer money. But then again, this is just speculation on my opinion, you be your own judge to whether you think Walt is an honest politician when it comes to bidding out jobs with his buddies.
