Absolutely, positively they should be investigated. Talk about dirty laundry....there is plenty on this fire board.

Right you are ForAnderson..this is long overdue. Somebody needs to take out the trash and I hope the Grand Jury can get it done.

Definitely!!! It's about time the spot lights come on and certain closets get swept all the way out of the city limits! Anderson is a great little town but it's time to drop this "Bubba Jones be duh sheriff, duh mayor, duh Justice of duh Peace, and duh Blacksmith of this here town" junk. Anderson needs to dump the trash and start growing up!

Yes!!! Why do they think they can create the law as they go along or twist the effect to fit their means? Have they never been advised by the fire district's legal counsel, i.e., Fitzpatrick? Maybe he should be investigated himself as also being one of the puppets by allowing Purcell to be the investigator.

An investigation into this bunch of hillbillies is long overdue. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the Anderon Fire Board/City Council Unholy Trinity is a prime example.

As I remember, the interim chief (before Piccinini) was also ousted because of the unhappiness of the fire personnel. Didn't he also try to bring some sense of professionalism to their department? The nerve of him or our current chief making them stay fit and be more professional......go figure. As stated above....Hillbillies don't want change...they like the good ol' boy system headed by Mama C. that they have always had. With so many people out of work, they had better consider their jobs and the fact that they work for the community, not just for a biased board. They, too, can be replaced.

If the fire board welcomes a Grand Jury investigation why does Schaefer look and act like he is on the verge of a heart attack?
ForAnderson writes:
Because he knows they are all guilty of far too many things they do not want on the front page of the newspaper. He sees their political careers as OVER! So do we!!
LuvAnderson writes:
What a shame that this has been allowed to go on in our wonderful community for so long. Thank you, Concerned Citizens for bringing it to our attention. I see investigations, recalls and "not in our town" votes in the future of the afore mentioned "unholy trinity." We must really live up to the "Not in Our Town" motto. It has been a sham up to now.

Is Purcell even licensed to be an investigator in our state and county? Could this whole thing be thrown out because the Fire Board forgot to check that little detail?
Red_Stilettos writes:
BlueSuedeShoes - The Fire Board forgetting to check that ONE little detail? More likely they chose to overlook every little detail so they could creatively manipulate the outcome.
Anyway, anyone see the unholy trinity out and about today or have they checked into a witness protection program? Just saying....
By the way, nice shoes!

Thanks, I do have an eye for shoes--unlike some of the local yokels. Witness protection, hmmm, hopefully in Australia!!
ForAnderson writes:
I see Grand Jury Investigation and Recall in the future of the "unholy trinity". Wonder how much they will enjoy that? Can they lie to a Grand Jury and get by with it? That would be the second in a series of investigations for Webster. Wow, wonder how Norma let him get ahead of her in something?
