			<description><![CDATA[After reading your comment it is no wonder this village has problems..Really you dont think a man in a high up position is wrong for telling a female chief of police to suck me is wrong? The village supposedly has a "code of ethics" that was put in place back in 2011, but obviously that is not being "enforced" just like many ordinances this village has that many times are not enforced. I called to report cars with people in them parked at public parks making excessive noise at 1 am and found out they dont do much at all. It took two phone calls before a officer took care of it and all they did was ask them to leave..The officer didnt even stay to make sure they left..Not to mention fireworks being let off in the park at 1 am another time and dispatch told me it is legal to set off fireworks? In the village ordinances it is against ordinance for anyone to set them off in the park without permission..I am tired of the attitude and lack of professionalism I have seen and wish someone would make some good changes..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Again everyone needs to sit down and shut up until the investigation into the no confidence vote has been completed. Then the particulars of Chief's claims need to also see the light of day. All these claims and counterclaims, accusations and rumors are frankly childish. I do find a couple of things regarding these issues a bit strange, however I am going to wait and see what is in the Sheriff's report before I say anything here. We should be concerned that justice be done one way or the other, I don't care if you or I or anyone else loved or hated the police chief, the village manager or the village council, if there was a problem in either instance we need to see that it is corrected no matter who was too blame or how I feel about them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is understandable and I am sympathetic to that Jillbarger, but we also have to remember that there are laws and regulations to follow. Because of the nature of this issue it is important to verify that confidentiality laws are not being violated by releasing information. To provide further details and new events regarding this, it was stated by the attorney at last night's council meeting that the investigation and reports were subject to the FoIA. I am sure more of those details will be reported soon.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jason, Of course. That makes sense. I had assumed he wasn't until I read the Free Press article. Unfortunately, all we have to go on is what we're reading in the papers. Although I'm curious as to the identity of the third-party. I guess I'll be at the meeting tomorrow in case the subject happens to come up. Chris]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The village attorney is not a third party C. Rankin. The sexual harassment claims were investigated by a third party. There have been a number of details reported incorrectly. It has been reported that the village council voted to place Chief Danishevskaya on paid administrative leave during the week of 8/26. This issue wasn't discussed at the 8/28 council meeting (the last time council was together where a vote could have been held).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That, in fact, was one of the items off of which I based my assumption that the Village was the entity that conducted the investigation of allegations made by the former Chief. That and the fact that other sources, specifically an article in the Detroit Free Press, state that the former chief's allegations "..were determined by the village attorney in August to be unfounded ... ". Is our Village attorney the one that should be making that determination? Does the Free Fress have all the facts? I don't know for sure. I only know that I'm not comfortable with Mr. Figura making the determination that sexual harrasment claims made by the Chief are "unfounded", yet sending off a vote-of-no-confidence letter to OCS for a "full investigation". I feel that OCS should have also conducted the investigation into the allegations filed by our former Chief. If our Village's sexual harassment policy allows our attorney to investigate claims made against other Village officials without bringing in OCS, then I believe a change may be necessary to avoid any future impropriety, or even the perception of it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If indeed a follow up correspondence was sent by Mr. Walker to media sources, The Holly Express was not included. I never received any follow up memo or otherwise from the village offices stating that the story appearing on The Holly Express was inaccurate in any way. And like I said earlier, I have placed a FOIA request with the village of Holly for the entire report and legal costs associated with the investigation in question. Clerk/Treasurer Cathy Behrens informed me today that Village Attorney Mike Gildner is currently reviewing the information, and that he will be getting back with the village sometime during the first part of this week.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To be blunt, a follow up communication was sent by the village manager to media sources to clarify some points that may not have been clear. This was contained in it: "A sexual harassment complaint was filed in March 2012, the complaint was investigated by a third party according to the sexual harassment policy for the Village of Holly."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Right Amy. My point was to consider the source of the information. Has that declaration (that the village performed the investigation) been corroborated by someone else? Elena's statement also implies that the village took an excessive amount of time to perform the investigation. Has anyone verified who performed the investigation and who declared the findings regarding the Chief's claims other than the Chief? I understand the release of details has been slow, but knowing that details have been limited we have to consider what we do know and what the source of that information is. I am not saying that Elena has been intentionally deceitful or has intentionally lied. I am not even saying she is wrong. All I am saying is that things are being assumed based on a claim that hasn't been verified.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually, Jason, in her statement included in the article, Danishevskaya does imply that an investigation took place as she said the village, "ruled against me on every one of my more than 20 allegations." Clearly, the bloggers you referenced could drawn their own conclusions based on that statement alone.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are a number of people posting that the sexual harassment claims weren't responded to with investigation in an appropriate time frame or that the investigation shouldn't have been done by the village. The three people I recall off the top of my head saying this were Mary Ann Vergith, C. Rankin and Jillbarger. I ask where you received your information as to who investigated the sexual harassment claims and where it was that you received the information on how quickly the investigation started after the claims were made. These are details of the sexual harassment issue that weren't reported by Amy. There are a lot of details missing from this story and I caution anyone from jumping to conclusions or making assumptions.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[To Ryan & Hollynomore (does that name indicate you don't live here anymore?) What several of us are saying is; Why weren't the allegations against Mr Walker & Mr Clark investigated at the time? Investigated by someone other than The Council. It seems many of us don't understand why they are still allowed to represent our community until this matter is resolved. It just doesn't make sense to me! I understand we don't have all the facts, but it seems the Chief didn't get the same benefit of the doubt that those "Good 'ol boys" got.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Over the many years we have known Chief Danishevskaya I have always found her to be a very good honest and hard working person. Holly was very fortunate to have her as Police Chief and it is the people in this village that have lost the most. If Chief Danishevskaya decides to remain in law enforcement the only real winner in this conflict will be the city that she decides to work for. Good luck in whatever you decide & we only wish you the best!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of claims and counter claims flying around here from people that know nothing substantive about what is in either the Chief's claim or the Letter of No Confidence. However since no one here knows what is in this letter of no confidence,and also don't know the details of the Chief's complaint, well other than what she stated in her letter after she was placed in administrative leave, why is everyone going off half cocked? Has anyone stopped to wonder if maybe there is more to this than is being printed here in the paper and maybe there is something to both claims or neither? How about we all let the Sheriff do their investigation before making statements in regards to anyone's guilt or innocence?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First of all, placing an employee on paid administrative leave, especially a manager, is a standard and smart move in the face of an investigation of allegations. It removes the person from a situation where their presence or ongoing actions might compromise the investigation or the organization, and does not imply guilt in any manner. Second of all, until the following documents/information are released: the Chief's complaint, the findings of that investigation (including who investigated), the "vote of no confidence" (including who signed it), the findings of the Oakland County Sheriff's office and the Chief's actual response to that letter........no one is in a position to decide guilt or innocence, right or wrongdoing, or any other impose any other value judgments. The Chief was a very involved and popular figure in Holly, so I understand completely the outpouring of emotion and opinions on this matter. But it doesn't serve anyone to perpetuate rumors, speak off the cuff or fuel the fires with criticism or more allegations until we have the necessary information. Instead of throwing stones, we should be both persistent and patient as we press to have more details made public. Then we can move forward.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why did the vote-of-no-confidence letter get turned over to the Oakland County Sherriff for review and investigation, but the (now former) Chief's letter of harrassment and discrimination did not? Who made those decisions? As Ms. Vergith mentioned, if the allegations were against Village officials, why were Village officials doing the investigation into whether or not the allegations had merit?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with Joe about the email addresses, if they use personal emails for business things could get murky. As far as the inappropriate hug that the chief refers to (if it actually happened), in this era men should know better. In a working environment men can never touch women! Other than shaking their hands! You just don't do it, everyone should know that by now! It's ok for a woman to touch a man, but not the other way around. Sounds silly, but it's just the way it is today. This isn't Mad Men, it's 2012! If you want to keep your job and not have an uncomfortable meeting with HR, hands off!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Regarding the statement on an inappropriate email sent by Mr. Clark... I see from the village website that the email addresses published for council members are personal email addresses through various providers such as Comcast, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. Does the village not have it's own email system or provider? If not, I should hope that council communications do not occur via these email accounts (which I would suspect they do). Aside from being just another example of unprofessionalism, using personal email for business can be a legal and eDiscovery nightmare.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think this is an outrage! There needs to be a couple more special voting sessions called for. It sounds as though a vote of "no confidence" would be an understatement for our Village Manager, Jerry Walker and his co-hort council member, Thomas Clark. Question????? Have they been suspended pending an investigation into their behavior? If not, someone is slipping!!! I'm waiting for the day our Chief is returned with her reputation in tact. And those other 2 idiots have to answer for their actions!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Its amazing how this group of village idiots can allow another public debacle like this to surface, during an election year. Havent they spent enough village funds on the last lawsuit? I am not that familiar with Mr. Walker but with all the issues and controversy prior to his even being hired by Holly, coupled with the fact that in his past position in Walled Lake he offered them his services as manager and police chief, then perhaps some one ought to delve deeply into the motives for this "Vote of No Confidence" letter. Seems a little to convenient to find a way to oust a dedicated competent chief who appears to have gone out of her way to rebuild and maintain a rapport with the community she serves. The fact that this letter follows on the heels of an existing complaint made by the chief really smells fishy. Is the fox now in charge of the hen house?]]></description>
