The town of Gilbert may remove a resident from the Veterans Advisory Board following a conflict between him and various councilmembers.
At an April meeting, Dave Rosenfeld said he submitted a public records request to search for content mentioning him and his removal from the board. Rosenfeld also shared his disapproval at the town’s response to his request.
Councilmember Monte Lyons released a statement saying Rosenfeld’s “repeated use of veiled threats, inflammatory language, and public mischaracterizations” have undermined the standards of conduct and public trust.
Rosenfeld says the retaliation against him stems from his criticisms.
Dave Rosenfeld says town officials are retaliating against him because he spoke out against issues like a pay raise for the the Town Council
“This 100% has to do with the fact that I have spoken out about our FOIA system, its failures, and I've attempted to hold people to task," he said.
He also says the Lyons's statement is a means to discredit him.
“Councilman Lyons's letter to the town, which was included in the agenda, was a means to try to humiliate me," he said.
Rosenfeld plans to attend the upcoming Town Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
