VK stated she would not recuse herself. VK clarified there is nothing in the conflict of interest law that requires a person to recuse themselves : : because someone apparently doesn't like them. VK stated that accusations made against her in the letter aren't grounded in fact. and the claims made in the letter are unsubstantiated. VK relayed she is most concerned with the last paragraph of the letter where derogatory remarks are made against the town and she would not want someone on a Commission, much less a regulatory commission, that feels that way about the town she serves.
