Town records show that Clark, Graber and other Town Board members -- Craig J. Hicks, Christopher F. Osmanski and Christine Wleklinski-Bove, who is now a county legislator -- voted unanimously to hire Kelley.
Wleklinski-Bove declined to talk to a reporter last week about the vote. Hicks and Osmanski could not be reached.
Graber said he only remembers Gehen telling board members that Kelley had scored well on a police Civil Service test and advising that he should be hired. He also recalls that Kelley successfully completed his courses at a police training academy.
Why did she decline to talk about the vote? You voted for him, just tell us why. At least Graber spoke to the Buffalo News.
During the debate for Democratic seat for Erie County Executive, Paul Clark allegedly mentioned how civil services scores could be changed. This was in-reference to Jim Keane's family. Jim Keane was not happy about the comment.
Kelley made $68,994 plus benefits according to seethroughny.net
