New spokesperson?

Finance Committee: We know you did but while you were at it, you let four other buildings burn. And, instead of using the pumper truck to get water out of the Androscoggin, you used the fire hydrants which not only cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars but affected water service to the surrounding neighborhoods. And, out of the five fires you had, why did you rack up $200,000 in overtime. Oh, you were chasing Med-Care ambulances, blocking traffic, and really not helping them at all because they never asked for your help to begin with. That would be a redundancy in services. Oh, you don't have paramedics so you can't really do anything anyways, ok? Well I guess we can cut $100,000 grand from your budget that reflects all the overtime you rack up from chasing ambulances because the overtime is not coming from fighting fires in Rumford. Oh and how are you utilizing the funds in the Emergency Management budget? Oh, you have a plan somewhere. Are you going to share it with the rest of us which is required by the National Incident Management System (NIMS)? Oh, you don't really know what Emergency Management is? Have you trained with Oxford County Emergency Management Agency to ensure that if we have a chemical spill or some other hazardous situation that you know how to handle it and evacuate our citizens in an orderly fashion to protect them from the plume that comes from the chemical? Oh, you don't. Maybe you should start dusting off that plan, make some updates, share it with the community so we are all on the same page, and then do some exercises so you can improve your response times and efforts if we do in fact have an incident."

Since when has Jennifer Stowell Norris been appointed spokesperson for the Finance Committee? She is as unprofessional as she accuses so many others of being. She should not be representing this town. How can we ever imagine healing the wounds in this town when she has so arrogantly and presumptuously placed her own throne before the podium?
