Patty Roggeveen Conflict Watch, Addendum

I seemed to have forgotten about another conflict, real or perceived, that our current BOS chair has been involved in. 

7: The Dreamland Foundation has received a CPC grant of half a million dollars. The CPC is an appointed board. And the Appointing body is the Board of Selectmen. Which means Chairperson Roggeveen has actually appointed people to the CPC, a committee that turned around and presented her organization, the Dreamland Foundation, with $500,000.00. Add to this the fact that the Dreamland has yet to secure any kind of conservation restriction or deed restriction on their property which, as I understand it, is a prerequisite to receiving CPC funds. 

So to recap:

1. Married to a town employee.

1B. Was a town employee when running for BOS

2. Executive director of a non profit that goes before boards and committees that are superseded/appointed by BOS

3.  Husband chair of HDC, yet recuses himself on Dreamland rulings. 

4. CBT Architect/Wilkes Square entanglement.

5. Flip flop on Waste Options which disposed of Dreamland C&D waste.

5B. As Dreamland director, hired same attorney that works for town as special council on Waste Options issues. 

6. Named on fundraising letter from Dreamland Foundation to businesses which are regulated By BOS

7. Accepted $500,000 from CPC which she, in part, appointed. 

I could not make this stuff up if I tried. And yet, no public outcry. Go figure. 

Stay tuned, Nantucket.
