Then 99% of them never answered a single alarm as a active cfc member,never did anything for the taxpayers but make them pay twice for the same old equipment.I also remember chewens voting yes for this, some trustee for people! What people hose 1's?Then to add insult to injury two meetings later the same disbanded hose 1 members expressed concern with the shape of the chairs feeling that they were unsafe and that the village needed to buy new ones,once again chewens supported anti cfc anti village movements,and he claims to be for change! Change for what, the worst? At that time hose 1 had about $90,000.00 before the $15000.00 for the out dated broke dick chairs! Leaving hose 1 with around $105000.00 to date of donations and taxpayers money, boy did the village taxpayers get screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Thank You,<BR/>Can't sit down after hose 1 got done screwing taxpayers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1140514068879078612006-02-21T04:27:00.000-05:002006-02-21T04:27:00.000-05:00Hose 2 and Hose 5 has said that they will turn ove...Hose 2 and Hose 5 has said that they will turn over their money to help victims of fires, etc. It seems that they understand that the money they got when they were active fire companies was given with the intent that that money would be used for public purposes and should not be held by a non-active fire company that no longer fights fires.

When I first started reading this blog, I was learning alot about what's going on economically and positively here. Now very few commentors respond to Dick's topic but harp on the fire dept, and who gets away with what.<BR/><BR/>"Who you know" is the reality here and just about everywhere else - from Catskill to Washington DC - get over it. It's human nature whether folks want to believe it or not. How many people have called up a cop friend or court clerk to get a ticket fixed? <BR/><BR/>Dick - I second the notion of "I would suggest disallowing anonymous comments for a week or so (to rein it in), then establish one day a week as "firefighter's day" or (even better) "community gripe day" or something like that. And after you reopen the comments to allow anonymous responses, delete any off-topic comments with reminders that such-and-such is the free-for-all complain day."<BR/><BR/>It'll be more work for you initially, but hopefully will even out in the long rum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1140436446111219212006-02-20T06:54:00.000-05:002006-02-20T06:54:00.000-05:00So if neither one of the brothers have ever been r...So if neither one of the brothers have ever been reported.
