Hey, Chucky, or should I say Scott:

I was at the last Finance Committee meeting when the WFD, WPD, and DPW asked for their gas $$. I asked Chief Kenney, the messenger, did the WFD have a policy to "GO TO A CALL AND IMMEDIATELY RETURN TO THE FIRE STATION AND AWAIT THE NEXT CALL". He said "NO". They are encouraged to be seen in the community. What a STUPID answer, and nothing but BS. They have a Firehouse in every community, that they are seen when WE DRIVE BY THEM. They are seen in the community when going to calls, and when immediately going back to the station to await the next call. That is all the time that they need to be seen IN THE COMMUNITY, at our expense.

I have been complaining to Mayor Avedisian for years, since gas at almost $4 a gallon. Every day I go to Oakland Beach at different times to read, etc. No matter what time it is, it becomes like a parade of WFD vehicles, more than the WPD actually, all joyriding, and enjoying the scenery. Ladder trucks, engines, pumpers, rescues, hazard vehicles, etc. MY SCANNER always confirms that they AREN'T ON A CALL THERE. It should also be noted, that they are from ALL DIFFERENT Stations in the City, not just Engine 3 next to Vets School on West Shore Rd., which if you were to believe Chief Kenney, should be the only equipment I see in the Oakland Beach area, unless others are on a call there.

This just further proves my point, and shows Chief Kenney lied to the Finance Committee last week. AGAIN. The Mayor, and the WFD administration, are just wasting OUR TAX DOLLARS, and could care less what ANYONE thinks. The Mayor, just about every other Warwick Politician (Fed/State/City levels), and their family members Property Tax Assessments went down in the last re-evaluation. Therefore, THEY don't have to pay any higher Taxes for this waste.

People of Warwick better Wake Up fast, because your taxes will be going up again, before the next election. HOPEFULLY THEN WE CAN THROW THE MAYOR, AND HIS CRONIES, OUT FOR GOOD.
