Page | of | Jeff-Pirro, From: Ken Zalewski [zalewski@toyctycouncil com) Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 8:48 AM To: Jeff Pirto ‘Subject: Facobook page Jeff, Tm sending this to only you for now. No CC’s or BC's "think you've gone too far with the "Troy, NY" page, and I'm certain the public will agree. You are using it as a Political tool, not as a means to promote our city, {can see that you have removed my ability to comment - and Kevin McGrath says that you've done the same to him. T think Rich Herrick also said something about not being able to post. Ifyou are going to use the page as a way to disparage Council Democrats, you should allow the Dems to respond, don't you think? You'll notice that even with all of the garbage that you and Tom Casey used to throw around on the i-Neighbors site, you're both still members. I'm not affaid to engage you or anyone else in reasonable dialogue. You should not be afraid either. So Il politely ask that you reinstate my access to that page, as well as access for Kevin, Rich, and anyone else whom you've denied. If this polite request does not suffice, I'm happy to make an issue out of it. What do you think? Should I just reach out to a few of my friends at Facebook, Inc. to bring attention to a misuse ofa page? Should the Council passa resolution condemning your actions? Or do you want to be a man and allow for reasonable discourse? Personally, I think that the page should be managed by a team of people, which would offer some checks and balances on the content that is posted. Right now, you are running the page as a dictator. It's really unlair and cowardly, Also, L request that you immediately remove your last posting (or at leas, your ast two comments that contain personal attacks against me). You are publicly attacking an elected official as an administration official, and I'm certain thatthe media would have a fcld day with that. You are also publily stating that | am attending photo ps during work hours. ‘That is an outright lie -I had to take time off from work in order to be there, but | went because Marion and Mike specifically asked me to be there. In fact, I told them that I most likely would not be able to attend, and still have the e-mail to prove it. Tam very careful about keeping my day job and my Council job very separate. I wish the same were true of other public employees, | don't think you understand the manner in which you are burning bridges with your actions. It seems that you cant see beyond your own unquestioning homage to your boss. It's so sad, because I think you are a far more reasonable person than Harry, based on the conversations that we've had. ke Ken Zalewski Councilman, Distriet $ 10/7/2010
