(The following was a response by Selectman Jim O'Loughlin to Brian Flaherty on his pissant little blog regarding the recent resignation of DATV -- local access cable TV -- executive director Steve Russo. Jimmy O's criticism couldn't have been directed to a nicer guy.)

Mr. Flaherty,

When you state "Perhaps Russo said there was enough politics and wanted out" where do you get this from?

Would it be fair to say that "Perhaps Mr. Flaherty was visited by space aliens and they told him to say that" -- Would both statements be equally irresponsible? Did you speak to Mr. Russo? Perhaps Mr. Russo is recieving a substantial pay increase. Did you check any sources? Me thinks not! Mr Russo himself stated "this opportunity gives me the chance to grow professionally and put my technical knowledge to use."

On another matter I did not request the need for a new board to "oversee DATV", the manager spoke of the need of appointing a cable advisory committee which would act as a liason to DATV as well as be available to meet with representatives of any competing cable company that may be interested in locating in Dracut.

I did ask if there was a member of DATV who was acting as a liason to the board of selectman to give us updates on DATV board meetings, personnel changes, policy changes, etc. I was told there is not.

Blogs can be a great tool when used responsibly.

Thanks,

Jim O'Loughlin
