A politically active West Seneca resident has filed a lawsuit calling for the removal of the town’s supervisor and comptroller for “maladministration and misconduct” relating to town finances and politics.

Daniel T. Warren alleges that the misuse of town credit cards by the service organization AmeriCorps occurred because of auditing and financial recording failures by Town Comptroller Robert J. Bielecki and a lack of oversight by Supervisor Wallace C. Piotrowski.

“Were those issues in the past administration? Absolutely,” Warren said. “But guess what? They continued on in the current administration.”

Warren bases his case on a state comptroller’s report released in September, minutes from Town Board meetings and recent Buffalo News articles. The state report described misuse of town credit cards by AmeriCorps employees and improper oversight by town officials from January 2006 to January 2010. Piotrowski and Bielecki took office January 2008.

Piotrowski and Bielecki declined to comment on the suit but, in statements, labeled the case a “frivolous proceeding” that would waste taxpayer dollars. They said Warren has a record of filing “baseless lawsuits for political purposes.”

Maybe the idiots in now "the Burchfield" will want to tell the truth about the Comprollers report. It was to hurt AmeriCorps.

Why do you never respond substantively to anything that is discussed here?

Kinda like when you dodge the questions about your quest to be lawyer, how is that going for you? What year are you in law school?

"labeled the case a “frivolous proceeding” that would waste taxpayer dollars"

Nothing more than a waste of taxpayer dollars

It's a bigger waste of taxpayer dollars to pay salaries to Piotrowski and Beilecki when they don't do the jobs that we hired them for. Both of them should do the right thing and resign.....maybe this will help them decide.

I found the article in the Bee interesting, but what about the rest of the town board? Aren't they responsible also? Wally can't make decisions without a majority vote. and what about the agreement signed by Tina Bove between the town and Americorps, which pretty much tied the hands of West Seneca to agree that Americorps would get paid until the grants ran out. She lead the charge and supported Americorps and signed the agreement without the approval of the rest of the Town Board. If you want to point fingers, I guess there a many who would be called on the carpet and made to answer for their misdeeds.

While one may or may not like the policy determination the Town Board made it was its determination to make and there is no apparent irregularity or illegailty in its determination. If one is dissatisfied with the policy determinations the board has made their recourse is through the electoral process. If on the other hand one can produce evidence that a vote was bought or sold then that board member would be subject to removal.

Apparently this motion is going to be unopposed since I have not received any papers in opposition that were required to be served by June 13th.
