Does the Rev. Ken Moales need a pulpit or a pacifier? The outgoing president of the school board’s latest harangue against the Connecticut Post centers on Post reporters doing their job involving an outstanding warrant for him. Moales’ history of name-calling continues.
“I AM STILL WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY TO MY WIFE FROM THE IDIOT THAT RAIDED MY HOUSE AT NIGHT TO!!!” wrote Moales in an email to a Post reporter.
No one attacked his wife or raided his house, as Moales complains. CT Post scribe Brian Lockhart has more.
Until recently Moales had an outstanding state police warrant hanging over his head.
Before publishing that late October story, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers/The Connecticut Post attempted to contact Moales by phone, with no success. A reporter did speak by phone to his wife and asked her to pass along a message to her husband.
Then later in the day reporters–in an effort to give Moales every opportunity to explain the warrant–tried his office in the early evening and, finally, knocked on the front door of his home around 7 p.m.
Full story here.
*** Does or has any of Mr. Moales’ actions come as a surprise to anyone who’s followed the “soap opera” reality that is the Bpt BOE and its city government politics in general? *** First question for thought by the new incoming BOE should be, “Who, what, when, why and where” is the school budget money going to? ***
He is entitled to his emotions if he was upset. Everyone feels upset at one time or another. But it is how one acts upon their emotions that matters. Behaviorally, I have two observations. First, he engaged in a series of behaviors that prolonged and drew more attention, which is ironically what he did not want to begin with. For example, he refers to the reporter as an “idiot” and say his wife was “attacked.” Second is the fact he did not take responsibility for his decisions, which include speeding, having an unregistered vehicle and failing to appear in court. These were all decisions that were made. The first decision was having an unregistered vehicle and, ironically again, the subsequent behaviors (speeding and failing to appear in court) simply aggravated the previous decisions. So if one does some backward mapping, it is not always necessarily the issue at hand (the current tirade with the CT Post), but really the series of consecutive poor decisions.
Mr. Moales can hold his hand on his ass waiting for an apology.
BREAKING NEWS: The CT Post has sent an apology to Rev. Moales and his wife. Here is an exclusive recording of the apology sent to the Moales’.
