For those of us who journey into North Country you may be interested to know that your travels will not be on any road named after a rogue cop. I'm very proud of all of our collective efforts that bombarded our State Reps with emails and FACTS from the files.

"Reserve memorials for real heroes"
January 30. 2008 12:40AM
I applaud your patience in waiting for the full story of the McKay/Kenney tragedy to emerge before joining the rush to honor Officer McKay with a highway memorial.
I lived in Bethlehem for years. I knew most members of the Franconia Police Department, including Bruce McKay and his chief, Mark Montminy. I also knew many members of the extended Kenney family (though I never met Liko). Everyone pretty much knows everybody else in the small communities in the Franconia and Easton valleys, and Officer McKay was a locally notorious abuser of the public trust, a classic bully hiding behind his badge.
Nobody would have died on the Easton Road on that awful day last May if only Officer McKay had been a disciplined professional, or if Chief Montminy had not been derelict in his duty to supervise a subordinate who for years had shown a flagrant disregard for standard police procedures.
When the attorney general's office issued its instant, ill-informed exoneration of the second shooter at the murder scene, it was clear to many that an official cover-up was already under way.
I hope the full truth of the double murder on Route 116 comes to light before anyone else is shot. In the meantime, I hope cooler heads prevail in the current push to memorialize Officer McKay. Public memorials should be reserved for real heroes.
