Alleged sexual harassment cover-up of councilman candidate

[Breezy]

"the Dickman Investigation"

Gee, FLB, the very accurate Buffalo News story has 64 comments.

And 95% are against Mr. Dickman and his actions in the "Sordid Episode" (their word, Readers).

Sure would be nice if they joined up here and also wrote the TRUTH.

[gorja]

From the Buffalo News article -
Dickman said, "Looking back at it, I realize I made a mistake and should have stopped it"

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. The point is he encouraged it and did NOT stop it

[Lee Chowaniec]

Lee, your ability to stay above the fray is laudable and a great example to all of us. That said, I will not let the SLIME CREW continue their lies and dirty politics

continue. As usual, they try to keep their farce alive by calling out over and ever again" the Dickman Investigation". This is THE MAMMOT investigation.

Let me refresh the very short memory of breezless and Gorga.

A week ago they were charging Mr. Dickman with producing , directing. and distributing pornography. That has been shown to be lies perpetrated by the Slime Crew and their dirty supporters. Today he has been cleared along with everybody else at the DPW except Mammot and Cansdale.

In a few days from now, Mr. Dickman's reputation will be fully restored and the REAL story will be published. Lee, you don't know me personally and I understand your caution in believing all that I post. You are good at going back and finding out who said what and when they said it.

STAY TUNED

You can be assured I will stay tuned. Until such time the Village of Lancaster announces its findings on the investigation and assign culpability, I will not play judge and jury like others. I know none of the players and have no standing in the Village.

My focus will return to the upcoming election, town budget, dog control, solar project status, environmental and traffic issues, patronage, illegal dumping, etc.

What Mr. Chowaniec really means:

He'll drag his feet, stall for time, try to run out the clock, and look for a shred of evidence to clear FLB, Councilman Dickman, and the rest.

If it were one of HIS opponents he would POUNCE!

Why does it ALWAY happen to the candidates Lee supports ???

[mark blazejewski]

Of course when taken in complete context Breezy, your responding comments below suggest that the observations of Lee, Blunt, and Blazejewski, lack credibility and may actually be unworthy of reader consideration...

They destroy themselves.

Heck, let's let the reader decide.

Their observations stand in contrast to these pearls of sage wisdom coming from this stellar example of virtuous insight and flawless prognostication...

Heck, seems to me you are sore because Cuomo, Poloncarz and Ruffino are just trying to save your life!

LOL

Just think what his approval rating would be if the media was constantly pounding him on anything and everything as they did Trump. I noticed the same democrat supporters on facebook are strangely quiet compared to how they were when Trump was in office

Unlike you and Gorga who openly claim Dickman’s and Mammoth’s culpability, I will reserve my opinion until such time the Village of Lancaster has finished its investigation and announces its findings. Mark B. and I have both said, “Let the chips fall where they may. I have not defended Dickman in any manner, nor will I condemn him until the Village releases its findings.

As stated on numerous other posts I have no standing in the Village of Lancaster and personally know none of the players involved.

From all you and Gorga have posted, what I have gleaned from the vile video, and from opinions of others, if culpability is determined and consequence determined, there is much more at play here than political theater.

Dickman videoed the vile event, so did others. Is Dickman the target of the investigation? The others who likewise videoed the event? Just Mammoth?

How many people were in the room? Dickman says he should have stopped Mammoth. By what authority? Is Dickman a supervisor? Why didn’t anyone in the room step up to silence Mammoth?

This has been a repeated offense by Mammoth. Is this the kind of toxic culture practiced repeatedly by Village employees in a communal setting? Where is the oversight by the Village Highway Superintendent and/or Village HR representative Trustee Rudz? Has there been employee ‘sensitivity’ training classes to address sexual harassment activities?

Shouldn’t everyone who participated in this reprehensible event’s taking place be held responsible for their actions?

Who is really slow walking this, Breezy? Not me! Who is rushing to judgment? You and Gorga! I will reserve judgment until the appropriate time.

Is there a cover-up, Breezy? “Let the chips fall where they may.”

Lee, I am more confused than ever.

Does it not seem that in a statement on her Assembly Facebook page, Monica Wallace appears to suggest that the Village of Lancaster investigation is ongoing and attributes that information to the Buffalo News article?

According to the Buffalo News, the Village of Lancaster is already investigating the incident and has appointed outside counsel to conduct the investigation on its behalf. I applaud the Village of Lancaster for doing so...

As part of its investigation, I urge the Village to investigate the conduct of every employee...

However, this is what the Buffalo News article, as per comments attributed to Trustee Rudz, seems to have actually suggested:

Rudz, who is currently a village trustee, said the laborer singing in the video was immediately suspended, and the trustees hired the Hodgson Russ law firm to do an investigation that included examining the role others may have played in the incident. Rudz said he recused himself...

The laborer ultimately was terminated, pending arbitration with the bargaining unit that represents him, and the investigation was closed, with no discipline​ for any other employees, said Rudz.

Is the investigation closed or not?

[Breezy]

Thanks Mark for the heads up on the Monica Wallace statement!

Someone should take a screen shot of this page

A few months ago, Town of Lancaster Town Board member Adam Dickman was caught widely circulating a vulgar video of a Lancaster village DPW worker singing a personalized version of the John Valby song entitled “End of the Month” (Google it if you have to).

So that is a false statement after listening to the woman a board meeting.

Dickman, who not only videotaped the incident but then felt the need to widely circulate it to friends, family and fellow co-workers, was not.

So that is a false statement after listening to the woman a board meeting.


Sounds political to me. WNYmedia targeted the guy.

[gorja]

Will they be updating this post to the current situation?

[Frank Lee Blunt]

Readers, I know of no ongoing investigation by the VOL into anything as of today. Does anyone have any proof otherwise? If you are referring to an open arbitration case between the VOL and the Union representing Mr. Mammot, that's a case after an investigation has been taken. The VOL took action by firing Mr. Mammot for his behavior and later on lawyers advise bringing him back to work pending the outcome of a union arbitration case.
Maybe the Mayor has come to her senses at tonight's village board meeting and start looking into Bill Cansdale and how he runs his little kingdom at the DPW
