THE TRUTH IS OUT!!

This just came to my door today, and it confirms EVERYTHING I have been saying concerning Union Fire Company, and Chief Troisi

We have discovered the following information and thought we should pass it on! As a group, we are all residents of Bensalem Township and members of the volunteer fire service in Bensalem Township. Our years of service range from 5 years to over 25 years. We were shocked and concerned after confirming this information.

1. The accusations made against Chief Troisi and the members of the Union Fire Company regarding refusing to give water to the paid fire engine ARE FALSE. It changed to DELAYED GIVING WATER to the paid fire engine. THAT IS FALSE. It is now changed to a miss communication. No one in the fire service has any clue what that means.

2. The closing down of the Union Fire Company for safety issues that endangered the fire service and the public ARE FALSE. There is NO INFORMATION that has been passed on to any members of the fire service that in Bensalem Township regarding any dangerous actions by the Union Fire Company. How can you have a fire company operating in a "dangerous manner" and not tell the surrounding fire companies or the Union Fire Company what the dangerous activity is? THERE WAS NO DANGER ACTIVITY.

3. The Director of Public Safety and the Mayor want an oversight committee to approve the activities of the Union Fire Company. The fire company has no financial difficulties yet the oversight committee wants to approve all financial issues! How does that make sense? The township was $6,500,000.00 in the red last year. Is there an oversight committee for the Township? There have been numerous questionable expenditures in the Department of Public Safety. Is there an oversight committee for the Department of Public Safety?

4. During the last election, a chief of one of the fire companies came to a township chief's meeting and asked all the fire companies to publicly support the re-election of the Mayor. He handed out tee shirts from a local constable that stated that the Bensalem fire departments supported the re-election. The fire chief told us the fire chiefs that this was the last time the Mayor would be seeking re-election. Does anyone else see a problem with a fire chief (who is also a township employee) campaigning at a township fire chief's meeting? Was there an implied threat that if you didn't actively support the re-election there could be consequences? Just ask the Union Fire Company Chief! The Union Chief thought it was inappropriate for the fire companies to be involved in a political campaign. We all see what happened to the Union Fire Company.

5. The ambulance that was put into the Cornwells Fire Company station to stop the Union Fire Company from supplying the citizens of Bensalem Township with an additional and at no cost to the taxpayer advanced life support ambulance has been removed. The rescue squad is keeping the tax increase. Is there an oversight committee for that?

6. Lower Southampton is reporting a deficit of over $1,000,000.00 for this year. They are actively working to eliminate the deficit. Bensalem had a deficit of over $6,000,000.00 last year. No activity except to take money away from the volunteer firefighters to pay for a program that the township failed to create a plan for. Is there an oversight committee for that?

We are ashamed that we believed what the Director of Public Safety and several of our chief officers have been feeding us about the Department of Public Safety and the actions the Director of Public Safety took against the Union Fire Company. WE WILL BE ASKING MORE QUESTIONS AND PASSING ALONE THE ANSWERS!

Well, Freddie Boy the firefighters, the residents of Linconia, and many other residents of this town are on to you. As Martha Reeves and the Vandellas would say..........

NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE!!!
