You are right about Kobrock, he buried a mans tools in Gardiner and a Judge had to issue a protection order against Kobrock and the entire city and then extended it for 3 months because of animosity by Kobrock. Kobrock will not allow public access TV because the city would risk exposing itself and the secret deals and corruption that has been going on behind city walls. Those who speak out about Kobrock suffer the consequences. Just look at what he does.

I can assure anyone that reads these comments know that say about what I think. I also have no fear of the little man behind the curtin at city hall.

Be careful in challenging Kolbrock... you may find your car towed, your name in the paper and perhaps worse if you disagree with the guy.

Gardiner spends it's money wisely according to Kolbrock. A Harley Davidson for those three or four months of the year where the weather permits.

A new truck for the PD and FD chiefs... what is done with that, no one knows.... the streets (just a block from the PD) are loaded with drug dealers.

I was on the council when Gardiner signed with State cable TV. Mr Demers is right on target when he says the city got 30k for public access,it was given to the school.The cable drops were put in city hall and the library for public access. My question has been and remains to be where is that 30k and what is Mr. Kolbrock doing with the fees most pay now. By the way Direct TV is a little less money and no fees I even get my local chanells
