Diane Kilcullen

In 2015 Schenectady Police Chief Brian Kilcullen left his job of many years to come to Rutland "to serving Rutland's residents with integrity, professionalism and responsiveness". (Times Union Article)It seems that his wife Diane Kilcullen does not share his dedication to integrity and professionalism. Her social media postings show abhorrent racism and transphobia. Hers are among the worst that have been sent to this website from Rutland.

Paul Clifford

Paul Clifford is a member of the Rutland City VT Board of aldermen. His social media posts are anti-immigrant and opposed to BLM which fights against police brutality. The offensiveness of his posts are exceeded by the violent comments of his friends and followers. He was apparently contacted repeatedly about his insensitive racist postings. This was on the heels of NASCAR saying BLM.

Rod Kenyon

This poster only has one bad post to report on but it is perhaps the worst one of all. He is hero worshipping Kyle Rittenhouse who murdered 2 people after he went to Kenosha with a gun. This chud works on the Rutland Fire Department. I would not feel safe with my life in this guys hands !

Actual link Just in case you doubt he was on the Rutland VT Fire Department.

Sharon Davis

It seems that Sharon Davis who is the head of the Rutland City VT Board of Alderman is a fan of diaper enthusiast Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA. She shared this post from TPUSA along with a post where she seems to be making fun of someones last name.

Wendy L Wilton

Wendy Wilton was the treasurer for Rutland City for many years before she left to become an official in the Department of Agriculture for Trump. I am horrified that she chose to stand with Trump to blame a peaceful protestor who was murdered in Charlottesville. It is clear to anyone with a reasonably sound conscience that people fighting nazis are not equivalent to nazis. In one of these posts she talks about funding Trumps wall. I have to say that i would not want a treasurer who was willing to give her hard earned money to as obvious a grift as the "build a wall" fundraiser.
