I am glad you are concerned about the accountability of money because we can count on you to account for the money in the Hose 1 bank account and the money in the ladies auxcillary bank account.<BR/><BR/>This money amounts to more than the school board money issue. <BR/><BR/>Should a fire company that no longer fights fires keep this money?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139674639655330902006-02-11T11:17:00.000-05:002006-02-11T11:17:00.000-05:00The outcry isn't over the color of the truck as mu...The outcry isn't over the color of the truck as much as we were supposed to consolidate and Hose 1 still insists on keeping their identity visible. It is about Hose 1 throwing in our faces that they own a truck and still have substantial money in their bank account. It is about how their refusal to give up their Hose 1 identity and attitude is hurting morale at the fire company and poor morale effects ability. <BR/><BR/>So, ms/mr. 6:57, the impact is greater than the school issue.<BR/><BR/>The money involved in the school issue is nothing compared to the amount of money that has been kept by Hose 1. This money was given to a fire company that fought fires and that was the intent. Now this money is being kept by nothing more than a social club and isn't being spent in the manner anticipated by either the village residents or the fire protection district taxpayers.<BR/><BR/>So, mr./ms. 6:58, if you really are concerned about tax mony not being used for the purpose intended you'd be outraged about money in the defunct fire company bank accounts. <BR/><BR/>The school tried to get the judge to dismiss Mr. Dushanes lawsuit and refused saying that Mr. Dushane had shown that his claim had merit and a jury should decide. Everytime you Hose one gals bring up Mr. Dushane you are so foolish that you don't realize that you prove what he claimed. <BR/><BR/>We need to go to court to enforce the stipulation, to truly consolidate the fire company and to account for tax payer money in private bank accounts of corporations that no longer fight fires. <BR/><BR/>By the way, your entry is not very well written and so you shouldn't be too harsh when you can't write well yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139672026696627752006-02-11T10:33:00.000-05:002006-02-11T10:33:00.000-05:00Why does Randy have so much disdain for the Villag...Why does Randy have so much disdain for the Village of Catskill?<BR/><BR/> It was him not the village that stole the air bags!<BR/><BR/> It was the village that agreed to allow him back on the fire department.<BR/><BR/> It was the village that agreed to have his criminal record to be sealed.<BR/><BR/> It was the village tht allowed him to be rehired at the Catskill Police Department.<BR/><BR/>It was the village that allowed Hose 1 to get away with all their crap over the years!<BR/><BR/> It was the village that has bent over backwards to offer him status that no other company in the US would have done!<BR/><BR/> Yet he and his counter part Jimmy are anti-Village of Catskill.<BR/><BR/>Wheres that put Joe and Vinney?<BR/><BR/> Do they all have more loyalty to the Town of Catskill and Hose 1 than they do to their empoyers? <BR/><BR/>(The tax payers of the Villlage of Catskill)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139669974007941232006-02-11T09:59:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:59:00.000-05:00LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO STEP FORWARD AND RUN FOR VI...LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO STEP FORWARD AND RUN FOR VILLAGE TRUSTEE.<BR/><BR/>IF NO ONE DOES, IT WILL BE ANOTHER TERM OF SAME OLD SAME OLD.<BR/><BR/>WE NEED SOMEONE WHO WILL BE VOCAL ABOUT THE ISSUES UNCOVERED ON THIS BLOGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139669918662677082006-02-11T09:58:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:58:00.000-05:00The outcry over Stanleys settlement is b/c by payi...The outcry over Stanleys settlement is b/c by paying him, they are taking money away from our children!

In fact the very color that they siad they would choose 1 year earlier.<BR/><BR/> Despite this wrong doing and the pain it has caused to the membership we felt that it was an injustice to the tax payers to tack on another $20,000 to $25,000.00 on to the outrages $450,000.00 cost simply to correct the wrong doing. <BR/><BR/> Beleive me the tax payers are going to be mad enough when we call for an emergency purchase order to buy a new ladder truck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139668751067147362006-02-11T09:39:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:39:00.000-05:00Has any one verified that Dick May is on vacation ...Has any one verified that Dick May is on vacation and not being tortured in some un disclosed location?<BR/><BR/> Remember when the Russian authoritys claimed that Gorbeshev was enjoying a well deserved vacation when he was actually under house arrest!<BR/><BR/>Viva Dick May!<BR/><BR/>VIVA THE CATSKILL FIRE COMPANY!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139668496061199462006-02-11T09:34:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:34:00.000-05:00HAVE YOU NOTICED THE ORCHESTRATED OUT CRY OF STANL...HAVE YOU NOTICED THE ORCHESTRATED OUT CRY OF STANLEY DUSHANES SETTLEMENT!<BR/><BR/> YET NO OUT CRY OVER;<BR/><BR/>THE FIRE COMPANY BOOKS,<BR/><BR/>THE OWNERSHIP OF THE TRUCKS,<BR/><BR/>THE DESTRUCTION OF VILLAGE TRUCKS BY THE REMOVAL OF ANY REFERENCE TO "THE VILLAGE OF CATSKILL"<BR/><BR/>THE RESALE OF TAX PAYER DONATED AND TAX PAYER PURCHASED EQUIPMENT AT INFLATED PRICES TO THE NEW FIRE COMPANY!<BR/><BR/>THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW HEAVY RESCUE WHEN IT WAS RECOMMENDED NOT TO BY THE PROFESIONAL ADVISORS!<BR/><BR/>WAS THE BIDDING PROCESS DONE OPENLY, AND FAIRLY IAW MUNICIPAL LAW OR WAS KME AND A LOCAL GREENE COUNTY BUISNESS DENIED AN EQUAL AND HONEST CHANCE TO SELL CATSKILL A TRUCK?<BR/><BR/> THE OUT CRY ABOUT THE CHEWENS DRUNK FEST AND COVER UP?<BR/><BR/> THE LACK OF CONTROL THE VILLAGE BOARD APPEARS TO DISPLAY OVER A RENEGADE FIRE COMPANY!<BR/><BR/> THE PURCHASE OF $80,000.OO OF UNIFORMS INTENDED TO COMMEMORATE HOSE 1 ONLY WHILE IGNORING THE OTHER COMPANIES.<BR/><BR/> WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY BEEN ALLOWED TO DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9599422.post-1139667756671938232006-02-11T09:22:00.000-05:002006-02-11T09:22:00.000-05:00Good point.
