Liars, Thieves, and Fuel Tanks

“Does the town really need a "spare" fuel tank that costs

11 thousand dollars when THE FUEL TANK AT PUBLIC WORKS

can accomodate the needs of the town? PLUS and this is a big 

PLUS the fuel tank at public works will be monitored so that it is 

only used for TOWN BUSINESS.”



Mr. DeAngelis has already suggested that the MVFD and its Chief are a bunch of liars, along with all of those who serve in public office in Middlebury. Now he is accusing the MVFD as being fuel thieves.  


He has no idea how the fuel at Fire HQ is monitored.  If he is so interested in how it is monitored, perhaps he should accept Chief Perrotti’s invitation to come and sit down with him at Fire HQ.  Of course, he would never do that.  He is more comfortable spreading lies about the Fire Department than he is with the truth.


The $11,000 tank will pay for itself in less than three years.  It is important that access to fuel for fire apparatus be located at Fire HQ and not at the Town Yard.  It is also important that Fire HQ is no longer heated with diesel fuel meant for fire apparatus. The new tank will accomplish both objectives.


As an aside, Mr. DeAngelis enjoys launching nonsensical attacks on the prose of others, yet he is constantly committing his own literary atrocities. In a time of easy-to-use computer spell checkers, one would think that “accomodate” would have never made it to the pages of his website. But, that is not for small minds to ponder, only for those with Mr. DeAngelis’s high degree of intellect.
