Caught in a lie again UPDATED 4X

Coleen Vuono is quite a piece of work. She has submitted her THIRD statement of financial interests, and all say different things.

When serving on a board or authority, staff, or commission or running on the ballot for commission, a statement of financial interests must be filed. I asked about submitting one since I was a write -in candidate, but was told that only if I would win. I had submitted a SFI when I was on the ballot in 2011. Since Coleen was on the Parking Board, she had submitted this one. Steve Feller made a note to use it when she was appointed as a commissioner, a no-no.

When this discrepancy was uncovered, a Right To Know was filed which resulted in Coleen filing a second SFI. Of course, a nasty email from Coleen was issued to the requestor.

Noticing that her Stage 2 Sell business was not listed, a complaint was filed with the Ethics Commission. That resulted in a third version submitted by Coleen. Today, a new SFI was sent from the Ethics Commission.

Still uneasy about Coleen's eligibility as Ward 3 commissioner, I sent this to her, copied the commission, interim manager Keith McGill, and Solicitor Phil Weis:

Coleen,

I have attached several of your statements of financial interests. Does Mt. Lebanon have your latest and greatest that came from the Ethics Commission? I wanted to make sure that the municipality had your most recent SFI. I am to assume that the one that came from the Ethics Commission would be the most accurate.

Would you mind proving that you are still living in Ward 3? With the moving truck outside of 31 Woodland this past week, your dossier posted on the municipal website shows your residence as Woodland Drive. Since you have a history of submitting SFI that vary from month to month, I do not know what to believe. What street have you moved to? And will you please see to it that your dossier is updated on the municipal website? 

Thank you.

I will update everyone when I hear back from Coleen. If she is not in Ward 3, she cannot vote as a commissioner!!!

Mr. Meduho,

The municipality has Commissioner Vuono's most recent form on file. The form dated November 3rd was personally provided to me by Ms. Commissioner Vuono on November 5th. No she will not need to file another form. The statement of financial disclosure is for the year 2014.

The SOFI provided by Ms. Cross was the most recent one in the possession of the municipality at the time it was provided.

Hi Bonnie,

On October 28^th I filed a right to know asking for the most recent Statement of Financial Interests form from Coleen Vuono. On November 4^th you responded with her SFI form dated October 25^th .

I find out today, the most recent form wasn’t the most recent form. Her most recent form is dated November 3^rd. So I have to question, did you not have this most recent form available prior to you sending me the one dated October 25^th?

What form do you currently have on file now? Does Mt. Lebanon have in their possession the most recent one dated November 3^rd?  

Also, if you know, will Coleen Vuono need to submit a new form when she moves to a new address?

Thank you Bonnie,

I beg to differ, Coleen. I am required to provide my address every time I address the commission, which may be more than once during the course of a commission meeting. I believe it is to prove my Mt. Lebanon residency, according to the Office of Open Records. You are a public servant; commissioner of Ward 3, who sadly can't spell your fellow colleague's name correctly. I am asking you yet again, since you have a history of providing varying degrees of facts in your SFI, please prove your eligibility by stating your new address and see that your dossier is updated on the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon's website. 

Thank you.

Ms. Gillen,

Please ask Mr. Meduho about the response he received from Keith McGill about my statement of financial interest form. It has been filed with the State Ethics Commission and with Mt. Lebanon.

You asked at the commission meeting on 11/10 if I was still a resident of the third ward. Commissioner Bromfield responded to your question. There is nothing more to say.

Since I made the proposal to add sharpshooting to our deer management program you have been harassing me via email. I'm advising you to stop.

Update November 15, 2015 11:25 AM March 2014 Stage 2 Sell ad in mtl Magazine and asking again for information as to residency requirements. I filed a Right To Know asking for proof of Coleen Vuono's Ward 3 residency.

Update November 15, 2015 6:54 PM 31 Woodland was sold on Friday, November 13, 2015 for $375,000. It is 46 days until January 1. Coleen's term ends on December 31, 2015. If Coleen turns in her resignation tomorrow, the commission will not have to find a replacement for her. As of today, there are 45 days until December 31, 2015. Section 309 of the Home Rule Charter (http://mtlebanon.org/DocumentCenter/Home/View/3860) states that the commission must fill the vacancy within 45 days after the vacancy occurs.
