TIME FOR ANSWERS

Gee, the little birdies are active even in the cold!! I found this with my morning paper, and after reading wanted to share with all of you. Evidently more shadiness is going on in Bensalem, and the HONORABLE volunteer firefighters of this town want answers. Check this bit of info out.  

We raised taxes to provide THREE ambulances in our township. After the raising of the taxes the part time third ambulance was moved from the Cornwells Fire Company where due to response times, it was needed and moved to the substation of the Newport Fire Company.  Now, it was taken out of service all together!  Does that mean the township intends to return the tax to its lower levy due to the reduced service?  Is the township going to restore the funds taken away from the volunteer fire stations in the past, the amount they have taken this year starting in January or the projected amount for 2015?

What about the Director of Public Safety refusing to address the obvious violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act regarding the paid firefighters who are also members of volunteer fire companies in our township?  Why did the Director of Public Safety list our fire service as a combination paid/volunteer fire department, when he illegally created the separate paid fire company?  Where did the money come from for the new paid fire engine?

The Bensalem volunteer fire service wants to know!

Not only does the fire service want to know, but the concerned citizens of this town want to know as well. After all, "his majesty" and Haman claimed that this was a vital need for the township, and it would save lives. Despite the EMS having documented financial issues, and its president being unwilling to answer questions in an HONEST fashion, they still coerced this tax increase, and now it’s biting them in the behind!!

START ANSWERING YOUR MAJESTY!!
