Tom Gormley doesn't understand the first thing about courtesy and
democracy. If someone, in this case, Mike McCormack of the Finance
Committee disagrees with him, Gormley screams and makes wild
accusations.
Gormley's behavior only encourages goon squad...Tom Gormley's behavior at meetings encourages boorish behavior by others. The behavior of the First Selectman and others in this town is just downright embarrassing. It's bad enough to be dumb, but to be dumb and
malicious, well that's a bad combination. Even Tom would have to admit
to that.
Town Hall meetings can get emotional. That actually is democracy and freedom of speech in action. It is what built this country, as illustrated during the little meeting they held in Philadelphia on July 4th, 1776. It was 72.5 degrees when Thomas Jefferson arrived at the statehouse. All the doors were shut and locked. The tall windows were also shut, so that the loud quarreling voices inside could not be heard by passersby. The voices that helped shape this country were not quiet. They were loud, they were decisive and they were strong.
Tom Gormley does not give up his right to freedom of speech when he took his oath as First Selectman. It is his job to protect the interests of the community, and that is what he is doing. Tom Gormley spoke his mind and directed his comments to the person he was disagreeing with. Mr. DeAngelis chooses to attack people from his computer.
But, lets talk for a moment about Mr. McCormick. He sits on the Board of Finance, yet he is chairman of the Public Works Commission. Why? Doesn’t anyone see the conflict of interest?
Mr. McCormick, if I have my facts correct, has suggested that Middlebury dispatch be closed and have all communications moved to Northwest C-Med. This would severely diminish the effectiveness of the Police Department. Our dispatchers know the Town, they know the residents, and they help make our Police Department second to none.
Moving police dispatch out of Middlebury would be foolish, and the community would suffer.

If they have $800,000 in the bank, can't they buy their own truck ?

Usually it is Keli who is loud - but Deangelis and his rats don't mention that. Whyizzzit?
Apparently it's bad form to speak your mind in public where others can rebut or debunk you. Has anyone seen this clown around town? When was the last time he went to a town meeting? I haven't seen him since a taxpaying citizen of Middlebury gave him a piece of his mind. p.s. rats love cheese...
yea but if you speak against the budget, the fire dept. just keys your car cause they want new trucks
I guess that's why not one person spoke out against the budget the other night at the BOF public meeting at Shepardson.
No ones car got keyed after the BOF meeting..... it's just the TOWN JERK looing for trouble, seeing that he has nothing better to do!!!!!!! Keli is right in with ed,pat and ken, how do you think they get all the info. after the metting!!!??
So you found beer bottles on your lawn?
Just get the police department to take fingerprints and find the criminal.
FYI - all the policemen and firefighters have their fingerprints on file. Should be real easy to expose the criminal because it MUST have been someone from that group.
I tell you this no one from the F.D. was there that would step down to pat's sick mind!!!!!! He's once again looking for someone to react, so he can have a law suit. So people that is what pat is looking for. He wants to get rich fast!!!!!!!!!!
