Channel 10 News Reports tonight that Peg Sweeney has requested that Dennis Fink be reprimanded by the St. Louis County board for his inappropriate and rude behavior at Tuesday's County Board Workshop. As reported below, Dennis Fink threw a book at County Commissioner Sweeney. His only reported comment on the matter was directed to Peg Sweeney the next day and he is quoted as saying "If I'd meant to hit you I would have."
There is great support for Peg in the community, and we applaud your dignified response. You are in a good position to demand respectful treatment for all members at all times. No individual should be permitted to intimidate or devalue anyone else who is a representative of any other district, any employee of the county, nor any citizen.
Where is the line these people must cross before the others rise up and say enough?

What I cannot believe is that this is not getting more coverage in our local media (did you see anything in the paper?) Until more residents tune themselves in to what is happening with the Board, I suppose this behavior will continue. Dennis Fink has obviously not learned a thing from the recent investigation into his other conduct and clearly thinks that any "rules" of acceptable behavior in a civil society do not apply to him.
Kudos to this blog for "watching"!
Fink's behavior is beyond childish--it's getting a little dangerous. I hope this issue gets in to the letters to the editor section of the paper at the very least. There should be NO tolerance of this kind of temper tantrum. In what business place would such antics be acceptable?
