Mr. St John Wants Answers

Why is former First Selectman Ed St. John adding to the never-ending flood of FOIs targeted at Town Hall, the Police and MVFD. According to sources at Town Hall, the cost to the Town for Mr. DeAngelis's FOIs has been in excess of $20,000. Mr. St. John is a member of the Fire Department.  If he wants to see the minutes, he knows where they are.

But what answers is he looking for?  Perhaps the names of those who made and seconded the motion to have his picture taken off the wall at the MVFD.  More names to add to his ever-growing enemies list?  Or is he looking for some way to link the vote to Chief Paul Perrotti, who has no vote under Robert's Rules? *

In his hatred for the Perrotti family he has squandered his legacy at the MVFD. What he does not see, is a whole new generation of Middlebury Volunteer Firefighters whom he has never even met. These new members have a genuine distain for this man and view Mr. St. John as a past and current threat to the MVFD. 

Will he find that there was only one dissenting vote?  What a waste of a legacy. When will Mr. St. John and his side-kick Mr. DeAngelis realize that the MVFD is one a Middlebury's most precious assets?  The constant and never-ending attacks are only a reflection of the character of the attackers.  In the wake of the attackers symphony of dissidence, the MVFD marches on, without drums, without fanfare, protecting the lives and property of the residents of Middlebury 24 hours a day. That is a legacy that we can all live with.

*Tiebreaker can be made by the chairman.
