“Where is ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MVFD AND THE TOWN? How did the half-chief commit the town to a town meeting to approve 15 grand for a grant the first selectman never even knew was being applied for?”
Thats not true. Mr. DeAngelis has a very short memory. It seems that Mr. St. John wrote a letter to Ron Clark on March 9, 2006 saying that he wanted to continue with the grant process. See the link below.

In addition, all this about an agreement between the Town and the MVFD is nothing more than just fluff. The MVFD has operated for decades without such an agreement with the Town. The agreement was obvious. All of a sudden this is all so important. The MVFD keeps responding to calls, and the lawyers keep sending their bills. Who is winning from all of this?
Mr. St. John tried to make political hay over insisting that the MVFD and the Town draft such an agreement. FOI how much was spent on legal bills by Mr. St. John in his attempt to take over the MVFD ambulance and thus gain control of the ambulance billing funds. The MVFD flatly rejected the St John agreement.
When Tom Gormley took over, he threw the St. John agreement out the window, and a new realistic agreement was drafted. This was presented to the members of the MVFD. To my recollection there was only one paragraph the members did not like, and it was sent back to be reworded. It is not the MVFD dragging their feet on the agreement.
Eliminate a paragraph and bingo the Town has its all important agreement that will do little to improve patient care.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Half-Wit Pattie claim to be the author of the grant that cost the town 15 grand? Does'nt the town have a grant administrator or some horse hockey like that. Isn't it that persons job to stay on top of these things? Another job Mr. Monkey Pit messed up...
