The town’s ethics commission on Wednesday dismissed complaints filed regarding a recent planning commission appointment.
The Berlin Ethics Commission met Wednesday to review five complaints filed regarding the appointment of Austin Purnell to the Berlin Planning Commission. Purnell was nominated by Mayor Gee Williams and approved by the town council on Monday.
“The ethics commission unanimously voted there was no violation,” Town Administrator Jeff Fleetwood said.
"Purnell is the son of a sitting councilman and works with his father, who is heavily involved in local real estate." said one of the citizens. She went on to say, “Austin Purnell’s position on the planning commission would always be suspect in any decisions that were made whether he recused himself or not.”
“Under the manipulative hand of Mayor Williams, the elected leadership of Berlin has routinely failed the taxpayer,” another citizen said. He then added, “Today the appointed members of the ethics commission fell in line with their appointer’s wish, a local developer/councilman gets another ‘in’ and the taxpayer will again be left to suffer the consequences of poor leadership.”
Williams, however, maintains that he would not have nominated Purnell for the position if there was any question regarding ethics.

If the citizens of Berlin come together and vote Mayor Williams OUT ....then hopefully they won’t have to worry about his ideas and plans anymore. They have several people to pick from so it should be easy to move him out of the Mayor’s office.
Give it a rest, Berlin.
November cometh!
There are quite a few vying for that position.....
You slaves will never learn, hence why you are slaves and why I call you slaves... Hey Berlin, Loving those taxes yet??? I told you they would not stop once you let them get that rainy day fund increase from raising land tax... Then After that you got a water and sewer tax, then the County taxed your restaurants and hotels more... Then you got another tax increase last year... You will get one again this year, yet you slaves just keep on taking it...
Well boys n girls in Berlin
your Mayor wants federal money
so he plans on building about a DOZEN individual groups of Section 8 on several defunct farms there.
Berlin will than compete with Chicago and Baltimore for shooting deaths.

I agree with her^^^!
Something smells here.
Another Worcester County "Good ole Boy" appointment
Whenever a certain big mouth momma shows up at the Council meetings, that worst comes out. She, her BFF, and adopted family should move to the west coast where they belong. I was thrilled Guylas got the opportunity to slam her before he leaves. Some simply want to complain, and never offer solutions. OCFD7410R
When asked what he would do if BLM or Antifa cam knocking on Berlin's doors, he wouldn't answer.
look what Nicole assanine tried to pull in Wicomico county, you were ok with that so what's your beef? go ahead and vote for it and you slaves will get what you voted for and will deserve it. You will never learn.
At the appointment meeting outgoing councilman Thom Guylas ripped into a citizen vocalizing her objection
Gulyas said. “I’ve put up with you people for six damn years. I’m sick and tired of it. Everything online, that’s where you’re going to pull this from. Whoa whoa whoa this is my meeting not yours. Not yours. Not yours … You know Kim every damn time you’ve come to these meetings all you’ve wanted to do is bitch and complain."
Class act
Shocker alert - who would ever believe Berlin town politics were not above board?
He told it like it is! Kim is a disgrace and a prime example of why others don’t volunteer to help, or get into politics. All she does (and her friends) is complain. She has set two volunteer fire companies back 20 years by her back door bitching and wining. Her husband, as Thom said has never brought anything to the table either.
