ONLY IN SALISBURY CAN A VOLUNTEER GO FROM PROBIE TO DEPUTY CHIEF. THATS WHAT HAPPENED. GORDY WAS SEE'S BUDDY AND THEY TRREW LEE SMITH OUT OF THE POSITION TO OUT HIS BUDDY IN. LEE WAS A GOOD MAN AND GOT ALONG WITH EVERYONE. THIS CLOWN HAS PISSED OFF NEARLY EVERY VOLLIE WE HAVE AND THINKS WE'RE GOING TO RESPECT HIM BECAUSE HE IS SECOND IN COMMAND. BULLSHIT ! YOU HAVENT EARNED OUR RESPECT AND YOUR NOT GETTING IT. AND THAT GOES FOR YOUR SON TO. HE ISNT QUALIFIED FOR LT, BUT YOU PUT HIM THERE. THE ONLY WAY THIS GOES ON IS THE MARE AND CHIEF ALLOWING IT. THAT WILL SOON CHANGE.
ReplyDeleteLee is still a member and a good firefighter. He did a good job as volunteer Deputy Chief and shood still be. Gordo has given him trouble since he took over, because he stood up for the volunteers. Lee knows what is right and fair for us and Gordo wont listen. Its his way or no way. The volunteers are tired of Gordo and his demands. It use to be fun to be a volunteer, but not now.
ReplyDeleteThen why don't you guys shit can Gordo and be done with him? I don't know the procedure, I'm sure there is one. As Joe says often ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Grow a pair and shit can Gordos ass.
ReplyDeleteI can't speak for what goes on in Salisbury, but I know Gordy and See and not liked in the County. They come to the County Chiefs meetings and try to run the show. They can dream up more bull crap than you can imagine. Its pretty clear that Gordy is running the fire department in Salisbury. See doesn't say much he lets Gordy do his talking. If he does speak, he has everyone pissed off by the end of his first sentence. Its a rael shame because Salisbury has some great people. These two are the problem and I feel sorry for the guys in Salisbury.
ReplyDeleteGordo and See kissed ass with the county chiefs when the Station 2 problem broke out. After it ended they went back to their old ways and demanding everything be the Salisbury way. It dont fly well here.
ReplyDeleteNow you see why the members of the OLD Station 2 stood upi to these people. What you see is Bressner's plan to do away with the volunteer corporations. See and Gordy are tilghman's puppets. Hell when was it legal for a government to pass an ordinance to control a corporations money and assets. The volunteer retirement is next. I hope the people are happy with their new improved Fire department.
ReplyDeleteWhat does a man with a business to run and wealth need with a fire department. Dont feed me that public service line. Rich people serve themselves and themselves only. With all this volunteer money that appears to be at stake I am starting to get the picture. Does Oland audit this segment of the city.
ReplyDelete12:47-
ReplyDeleteOland doesn't audit anything -- the City has had to hire a firm to do its basic bookkeeping as well as the year end audit to the State.
1247 PUHLEEESE! Oland doesn't audit anything in the city. She doesn't even post to the general ledger. After all, she IS the Queen of TIF's. She doesn't do anything but show up and draw and $85,000+ salary, compliments of Mikey Dunn and Barrie Tilghman.
ReplyDeleteOland is not the only one being paid for not working. See gets a check every two weeks when everyone knows Gordy is running the department in the ground.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!! Glad to see that people are finally starting to see, the true colors of the leadership,we have here in Salisbury Fire Dept.Gordo and See and Mayor want to be Comgeys I Guess since the Vollies in Salisbury didnt elect Gordo as Chief he got it another way. Way to stick up for us Vollies there DEP. What a joke!! the crap that was said to the city at the meeting about trucks not meeting the requirements truck 2 engine 2 and engine tanker 1-1 should stay there is nothing wrong with them, use them for what they were bought for not riding the roads to all day. ooooo wait thats right the real reason for getting new trucks is because the Vollies bought the old one Sorry I forgot !!

The Salisbury Fire Department, both vollie and career have a history of changing with the wind and neither has a set of balls. In order to shit can Gordo you need to shit can the mare and cheefy the bald headed troll. But then after they are gone look what you end up with. A bald headed Fatso named Hoppes!
Gordy said that the City has no MOU for the volunteer retirement program. Yes he is right in one sense. However, the City (Mayor) and her clowns never honored any other MOU that was made with the volunteers at Station 2... Why would this wanna be Chief and Queen honor any now. Give me a break let spend the tax payers money. Hell why don t you replace everything at the fire stations.Hell they replaced 2 year old rescue equipment that was on squad 2, that became rescue 16. This is SAD!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Gordy should be careful of what he says in public and on the record.
ReplyDeleteYes People this is very very true after the leadership took R-2 from station 2 Vollies and transfered it up town, to become R-16 they took all the Equipment off of it that cost serveral thousand!!!! dollars of taxes payers money. Sold that equpment that was on there for almost nothing! which was less then a year old and replaced it with new. WHY!!! you may ask? because it didnt suit the new admin. because vollies bought it along with the unit that was taken from them. Yes folks the vollies in Salisbury over its history have bought and paid for most of the equipment that it has!!!!! through fund rasiers and county money and great people in the coumminty who helped out! and the city was starting to look bad because it was still running ragged out equipment and could not afford to replace thiers,but yet we can build a wasted new building 20 times bigger then needed !!!! for a few people to spend the night in!Hmmmmm did any body ever think to look at what other depts in the area had built,for new stations.HMMMMMM for that kinda of money you could have built a 2 million dollar station which would have been just right,, and bought new equipment and still have saved the taxes payers 5 million dollars !!!!!! Gordo and troll wow things are finally being exposed. For a later time we need to look at this issue!!! (more people needed) RIGHT !!!!!! lets talk about all people that you have who are good fire fighters and medics doing dum stuff to make it look like you are under staffed. All one more!!!! why build a new burn building that cant be burned in because you put it to close to the new firehouse !!!!!! so this one does no more then the old one!!!!! gezzzzzz
ReplyDeleteEver section of the MOU has been broken by the city hmmmmm maybe its time it gets posted let the people see it.!I can now see what the men and women at station 2 were fighting for back then. And I will be the first to say sorry guys I was fooled by Gordo and See!!!!! BROKEN PROMISES YOU HELP ME WE HELP YOU RIGHT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSend that MOU to Joe, you know he'll post it and get the truth out there for you. Send anything you have on those bums. Lets shine some light on Barrie and her Bums.
ReplyDeleteWas that new code that David See speaks of written by Paul Wilber? That would explain much. Just like the landlords, the codes were written by Paul Wilber to protect the landlords.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that when the volunteer retirement was increased by this council...Comegy's voted for it. If this is true he should be turned in to the ethics committee. Comegy's will get this retirement as he was a member of station 2 up until he fled to 16 when the problems started. Oh might add that I heard the piece of crap went on life membership there. Yes Joe dig into the bull crap that went on when Station 2 bucked these self serving jerks.
ReplyDeleteI think if you checked into it that the volunteers at the old station 2 spent almost 50,000.00 to equip squad 2. The agreement with Higgins and the council was the volunteers would buy truck 2 if the city replaced squad 2. Truck 2 They were bought to be support pieces not to run up and down the city streets...going to get lunch...etc. Besides donations and county money paid for them.Some body should tell the fire department we are in a recesssion. Don t run the equipment unless there is a call. They have enough pick-ups,suv,and cars to do the errands. I hate to micro manage..but something has to be done with this leadership. Lack of you might say!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf the Volunteers do challenge the MOU and rebel, it would be amusing to many. Gordo would bust a vein in his forehead and See would be exposed as the volunteer hater that he is. The funniest act would be how they scramble to mend fences with the paid guys who helped them last time. After the war ended they shit on their main supporters and kicked them to the curb. I dont think they would get much help this time. Those same paid guys would love to watch See and Gordo sink with their ship.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is alot of decension and ill feelings for the FD leaders. They know what is going on and they dont like it. The HUSH!HUSH! or your fired phylosophy isn't working here. I dont know if you can fire a volunteer, but they dont seem to care either. My opinion is that the best source for whats really going on is the troops. The brass are directed to say only good things and never disclose the bad. I am glad this site exist, so the public can find out what really goes on in this city. The troops have made their feelings clear and I wish them the best. Things wont be like this forever. Elections are just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Gordo and Troll you have even pissed!!! off you paid staff,Thats right they steped up to bat for you when station 2 broke away. Troll made some promises to these people Iam sure just like the Chiefs in the county. Wonder just how many deals were made and how many really happened speak people please let us know !!!! Gordo and Troll just remember what goes around comes around. Looks like the time has come, all by the way are you sure you have the funding for the new equipment ? not so sure there guys!!!! you should really make sure before you promise things in a open meeting!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Gordo treats his employees the same as the Vollies. Just take away their retirement plan and see what they think.
ReplyDeleteChief see i am sure you are reading this and are just as red in the face as you can be by now!!!!! sorry to hear that! but can you explain to me why we have 13 bathrooms in the new firehouse i am tired of cleanning them gezzzzzz all let me guess the answer is its the SALISBURY WAY !!!!!WHOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if Comgeys voted for the vollies retirement plan to be raised? Hmmmmmm How many years do you have? and that would equal what for you ? Go ahead answer us we know you are reading this!!! Why are you reading this because its the only news the mother hen! dont control. Wonder if State Highway knows that thier new office has moved? to RT 50 and Isabella Street Exxon? all thats right you and Gordo just getting lunch !!! No meetings going on under the table ! Boy I can hear it already Gordo to Puff Boy I am going to bring this up too nite at the meeting I need you to back me up! If it looks bad just say hmmmmm 10,000 times like always during meeting everbody will just for get what I was talking about and it will fly!!!!! All if People start to ask question or complain I will just say it was the context not what it sounded like ok !!! CHIEF I mean Dep Chief
ReplyDeleteTiger Mart employees don't get retirement or anything else but a hard way to go.
ReplyDeleteis it true that the new tower 16 is going to get a full hyd. rescue system setup? (not just a combi toll on a reel, but a full on set?)
