You guys seemingly can't stay on point. Fact: The town is in a fiscal jam. Fact: The town clerk's office is an easily trimmed source of taxpayer dollars that are going out the window. Fact: The town clerk is collecting what can only be described as a handout on top of the money she's already getting to hang out with her son in Florida for the past 8 months.
You don't even need to look at her past performance, her age, or anything! This is dollars and cents, and I find there's no 'sense' so to speak in paying for someone who never comes to work. Cut the salary, end of story. If someone stopped paying her, I'd bet you dollars to donuts she'd finally get the hint and retire. But when you're collecting $50k for sitting on you but, why mess with a good thing?
CHA-CHING!!!!! simple folks......feel bad or want to help...take up a collection at church or 'the lodge'.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

DVOR - Actually, it is our business, since that lady is eating up tens of thousands of TAXPAYER dollars while she's on hiatus. If any other politician did what she's done this year, the town would be up in arms.
Just MAYBE Eunie has finally decided to cash in on her benefits that she EARNED for 42 years in public service!! MAYBE she finally decided her undying loyalty to the Town and people like you Rumormongers and Disgruntleds hasn't been worth it after all! The voting history obviously shows the residents have known and appreciated her dedication ... The Town STILL has gotten more out of ol' Eunie than its ever paid for! Check your records before you puke out disinformation ... it's really very telling ... you seem jealous and envious .... then cruel to boot!! Go for it Eunie ... "to thine own self be true!!!!"

What a public official does IN office is the public's business .... but matters such as who that person has helping them out when they are not well -- is a private and personal matter .. and no one's business

Thomas Jefferson once said: "When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property."
Regardless of why anyone may show such interest in what government officials (and celebrities in general) do outside of their professional activities, and whether it’s right or wrong that we pry into their lives, the fact remains that such people should realistically expect that they don’t actually get to have private lives. Entering public office seems to destine one — and one’s family and friends — for a very public life in general. In the run-up to the 2008 election, John McCain’s military record and the records of Barack Obama’s birth and childhood were subject of very public scrutiny, and if either of them did not expect that treatment, his advisors were not advising him very well.

But then again, the third president of the United States may have reconsidered that basic principal of elected office had he owned a cell phone, a Blackberry, a laptop computer, a blog, and a few Facebook, Twitter and e-mail accounts. In the age of digital media and social networking, elected officials have to make themselves more available to constituents than ever before. However as technology advances, the line between the personal and public lives of politicians is increasingly becoming nonexistent. To cope, local and state elected leaders have perfected delicate balancing acts in their attempts keep the two realms separate. They rarely succeed.

WRONG! You studied poly-sci? You should ask for a refund.

You better go read up on something called HIPPA ... the medical care that ANY citizen including elected officials receive is privileged and private information.
You should go ask for a refund from whatever school you went to Kindergarten at.

Not in that case .. because Mr. Cheney authorized a spokesperson to make a public statement.
Presidents Clinton and Obama are two examples of public officials who did not authorize the FULL disclosure of their medical records. They both offered seriously redacted versions of their medical records when they were running for president .. and in Clinton's case .. after each annual physical only a redacted version of the annual medical reports was released to the press.
In pre-HIPPA days -- President Kennedy hid the fact that he was gravely ill with Addison's Disease -- a kidney ailment that was slowly killing him and, in fact, years after his assassination when his medical records were partially released medical experts indicated that it was highly probable that had Kennedy not been assassinated .. he probably would have died from his kidney disease before the end of his second term (had he been reelected). Similarly, Franklin Roosevelt had a number of heart attacks and strokes while he was president ... including one heart attack in the Autumn of 1941 ... and it is strongly believed based on the bits and pieces of his medical records that have made it public -- that he actually died from complications of cancer. Just this past summer, I was reading a very interesting article that claims that the whole scenario around FDR's death was much different than the version that we were told "officially" .... for example .. FDR according to the "official" version slumped over after suffering a cerebral hemmorage and was taken to his bedroom where he died about 4 or 5 hours later. The President of the US has a stroke and no one saw fit to call his OFFICIAL doctor who was less than 30 minutes away -- no one saw fit to take him to the medical facility at the Warm Springs Polio Hospital which was 15 minutes away nor to the Army hospital at Fort Benning which was less than an hour away.

I re-read the post's, I couldn't find ANYWHERE, people wanting to make Eunice's medical records public dumb-a**. The fact remains EE has been collecting full pay on the public dime and hasn't filed for disability. EE should be receiving disability insurance benefits, NOT a $50K salary for not showing up to work for 10 months.
You are correct that HIPPA protects the health records of both public and private citizens. But HIPPA doesn't protect the elected public official from being held to the same standards as taxpayers paying her salary.
If EE is not on disablility, she is stealing from the taxpayer.
What is the beef here? Maybe Cheney should have released his eye appointment records so that we could understand how he shot his friend in the head.
Eunie's ailments are her business and hers only. We do not have a right to know her medical history and current problems. BT for a lawyer you sure are a dolt.
Just MAYBE Eunie has finally decided to cash in on her benefits that she EARNED for 42 years in public service!! MAYBE she finally decided her undying loyalty to the Town and people like you Rumormongers and Disgruntleds hasn't been worth it after all!

EE has become a "thine" fart in a windstorm.................... but thanks for the wisdom Barbara Esposito Cardella.

Who she is being helped with and where it is not be the business of the people. That doesn't state anything about he fact is she is an elected official and is being paid tax dollars to serve the citizens who elected her. If she is not going to serve the people, she should not be receiving the pay.
As far as the remark from selflessnessExcels, if Eunie wishes to have vacation after working for the public for 42 years, then maybe she should have spoke to the person who writes her contract (would that be the town board?) or let the population know that she wants a term off, maybe not run for election for one term. If she then feels better and wants to serve again, she can run for election again.
