Another Inane Letter On The Money Pit

“Until I see some real management of money and cuts that matter 

and not out there as scare tactics I'm not impressed. By the way, 

Thanks the good Lord for Kelli Bollard You go Kelli !  No matter 

what your opinion of Mr. St John ...be respectful people and put 

the picture back up. Or else take all of the pictures down. 

Hopefully Paul Perrotti  will be voted out in November and we will 

get a competent , knowledgeable fire chief

.  Stop being so afraid of the Fire Department Tom, go down 

there and put the picture back up in the presence of the press. 

That should earn you some points for sure. It's the right thing to 

do.”

First of all this seems like another phony letter to match the other irresponsible things that are posted from the pit. If you have not figured it out by now, there is no address published on the Money Pit to send messages.  However, if you would like to send Mr. DeAngelis a thoughtful note, according to WhoIs, his e-mail address is :

Tom Gormley has cut the Town side of the budget by 2.3%, which is more than what Mr. St. John did last year. Mr. St. John did not have a budget passed by this time last year as well.

You moan about the DARE program and other cuts being made to services, but you declare that you will not vote yes for the upcoming budget.  Guess what will happen, more cuts to services.

As far as the MVFD, they cut their budget 2 years in a row, which is more than any department in Town.

As far as the picture, Mr. St. John deserves absolutely zero respect from the MVFD and he will get none. His political antics have cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars, in legal fees and the delays in apparatus replacement will cost the taxpayer dearly down the road.  His fire commission was a threat to both firefighter and public safety. His office tried to derail the ambulance, by saying that the Volunteers were not insured. He tried to seize the ambulance from the Department with a ridiculous legal agreement. He tried to stonewall the radio grant, in which the Town may have lost a  $300,000.00. He told the MVFD they could not mount the new high band radio antenna on the existing tower without having a structural engineer do a study of the existing tower, which would have cost the taxpayers thousands of more dollars. The list is a mile long.

In Mr. St. John’s never-ending quest to “get Perrotti” he has alienated the entire MVFD.  Except for a few long-standing friends, 95% of the Firefighters at the MVFD dislike this man for what he has done to this Town and what he has done to this Fire Department. Even if Perrotti chose not to run in November nothing would change. The distain for Mr. St. John will never be undone.

Your comments about Chief Perrotti illustrate just how far down the phylogenic tree of life you really are.  You know absolutely nothing about this man.  Paul Perrotti is the most competent and knowledgeable firefighter in the entire Department. You should go to bed at night and thank God he is the Chief.  Perrotti has worked harder at this job than any other Chief that has held the position, and the MVFD has had some very hard-working Chiefs. He is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  If your house catches on fire in the middle of the night it will be Paul Perrotti who will be at your door first. 

You should be ashamed of yourself with your disrespectful comments. You know nothing about the MVFD nor its Chief.
