Did Kronenwetter fail to respond to a records request properly?
I got an email a week ago or so that surprised me. Now former village board member Ken Charneski told me he had requested records of email conversations between myself, other media outlets and Dan Joling and James Davel, the village president and administrator, respectively.
The response he received, to my surprise, was that there wasn’t any.
I knew this to be untrue, since I had email conversations with them both as the investigation into a complaint against Kronenwetter Administrator James Davel (where technically there really wasn’t a complaint, as we’ve covered), and I know one other media outlet did as well, since for some unexplained reason I was copied in on their conversation.
I was shown an excerpt of the email but I wanted the full email forwarded to me, so I could verify that it was a real email. Once that finally happened, I reached out to the clerk.
Acting clerk (at the time) Kim Coyle responded that she had run a search and that nothing had come up. She mentioned a personal email would not appear in the filter.
But here is the problem…
