Township Manager Files Complaint Against Councilwoman

Broughton says Toffler created a "hostile work environment," according to report on NorthJersey.com

 

Township Manager William Broughton has filed a complaint against Councilwoman Barbara Toffler, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

In a letter obtained by the Record, Broughton writes that Toffler has interfered with his office's response to public records requests and "has created a hostile work environment," according to the report.

Toffler has accused Broughton, Police Chief Robert Wilson and Deputy Mayor Adam Gussen of releasing information about her being ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident in retaliation for her opposition to hiring Wilson as public safety director.  Broughton says that he was asked to inform the council of any incidents that could become newsworthy.

The council will likely discuss the matter at a closed session meeting Tuesday night.

NOAH: This seems to be a tempest in a teapot issue. If the Council requested being informed of any incidents that could become noteworthy, then the request will be in the meeting minutes that are on file supporting Mr. Broughton's position that he was directed by the Council. That would clarify almost everybody's position. Of course, there is the other issue of how a private communication to Council got to the Record. That should be investigated too. Right away, I can say there are only six suspects.

I'm curious how it was she created a hostile work environment and what she actually did to interfere with the public offices working. The council members, manager, mayor and assistant mayor seem to have little to no interpersonal communication and professional skills when interacting with each other. I'm embarrassed for them as they apparently are unaware they should be ashamed for themselves.

Our Tax dollars at work, great job guys. We seem to vote clowns who are looking to milk the system versus Leader's who really care about Teaneck as a community. These town leaders would never be hired in the real Corporate world making 6 figure plus salaries.

Instead of coming together and discussing their difference like educated individuals so they can focuse their energy & knowledge (if any) in making Teaneck a better place to live, raise & educate our kids and invest in our community, they forget why we hired them to lead Teaneck. We have so many issues in Teaneck from poor quality education, high property tax, Fiscal irresponsibility in all goverment agencies, Lawsuits, layoffs of teachers, policemen, fireman, School programs/sports cut backs etc etc. Remenber you work for us so either Grow Up or get voted out!!
