KEEP OUT!….
Commissioner Dodd decided to take the LBTS-VFD …..Chief Perkins and Commissioner Silverstone..Vice Mayor McIntee…..up on their pre- and post contract rhetoric ( at negotiations/RFP/ Commission meetings)…that allowed the public …particularly a Commissioner to attend their meetings…transparency so they said….nothing to hide…..
Guess again….they must be following the Silverstone “freedom of speech” theory that “information made public is a dangerous thing” …(previous post…LBTS agenda/meetings round table…2/3/09)….because Comm. Dodd received an e-mail back saying the public was not allowed at the VFD meetings……signed by the VFD Chief….YIKES!….

WHICH HAT?..WHICH ATTORNEY?…WHO PAYS THE BILL?……..BLURRY LINES!….
An astute reader gave the heads up on this one…at the Feb 3,2009 round table…it was decided to follow-up on Comm. Clottey’s assertions made by the speaker at the FLOCities Jan.30,2009 all day event ( briefly attended by the “2-Hats”……swooping in late…leaving shortly thereafter..but paid in full for by us taxpayers…OUCH!)…concerning public record information from Town contractors to have the Town Attorney look into it…WHOAAAAA…”Blurry lines alert”……this should not be paid for by the taxpayers….this should be paid for by the VFD…which “hat” were the “2- Hats” wearing?….If the Town Attorney did the research….the VFD should pay him…just as this writer and the Futures were asked to pay for Mr Abbott’s time….
It should have been the VFD Attorney looking into their required public records obligations with a report given to the Town………
more to come……..
