RUPCO's Kevin O'Connor wants the project's Environmental Impact Statement for Woodstock Commons approved in a week. The professional planner, Dara, at the right end of the table, is making a very good case for one week being too short a time to simply command that she complete work with an already full agenda. Chair Paul Shultis Jr. has been bullying her on and off for much of the meeting. She tries to put her foot down, but gets a hard time from Shultis. When Shultis mentions that the vote might not come for another three weeks instead of in one week, Kevin O'Connor objects, minimizing Dara's workload. Paul lets O'Connor bully the board, and then Dara simply gives in and asks Paul to command her to perform his will.

I attended the Planning Board meeting on 2/11/10. I was horrified to observe Kevin O'Connor bully Paul Shultis Jr., who then bullied Dara. It is simply impossible for her to get 2 weeks of work done well in one week, but nobody cared. Paul quickly adjorned the meeting and in anger flung the chairs loudly, under the cover of putting them away. As I see it, this whole project is being bullied by Rupco bullying the Planning Board who is bullying the public.
