More Imaginary Friends

       “Many local firemen , including some veterans have written to us 

saying " the time has passed economically". They say that if the present Chief had not wasted six years fighting with the First Selectmen , the money was there for a truck. The problem was that the Chief could not work with the Selectman and the moment was lost.


Now , with the economy shot we have to wait for a more 

appropriate time.


      This is the opinion of many of the firemen at the present time.”


More imaginary firemen friends for Mr. DeAngelis. Again, because of the language used and the outright lack of knowledge regarding the true facts, it is very easy to detect that no real firefighter has been writing to Mr. DeAngelis.


The problem was not that the Chief could not work with the BOS, but rather it was Mr. St. John who refused to work with the MVFD.  He stonewalled apparatus replacement since 2003, and in doing so has cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars.  


It has been reported that if Mr. St. John had voted to replace Engine 2 at the time the Fire Department requested, the taxpayers could have saved $174,000.  That is money lost, because Mr. St. John chose politics over public safety.


There was a spec written in 2003.  It was ready to go out to bid. The ball was in Mr. St. John’s court.  Yet he did nothing. Blaming the delay on Chief Perrotti is just another outright distortion of the real events that unfolded since 2002.


Mr. St. John continues to try to interfere in the apparatus replacement with his recent Town Hall FOI request regarding apparatus replacement documents, and through Mr. DeAngelis.

The post should say,"Many local Fire Marshals, one who is a veteran..."

Where does he come up with this stuff? And, even worse, why do people believe this nonsense. I know for a fact that the entire department supports the purchase of a new pumper. This is a blatant, out-and-out lie by Deangelis. There may be members who disagree with the way the Chief does things, but, there is one thing all the members agree on. Apparatus needs to be replaced.

our money pit is the internet's version of the newspaper funny papers.

Something silly and outrageous to laugh about. Nothing more.

who said it was even funny. The most comical thing about that web site is that Pat thinks that riding a Honda is cool
