""re:Fire Department Audit
I read with great interest in the local paper that there would be a workshop to discuss some the findings of the audit that was performed by MMA. This work shop is for the current common council to question the consultants about what was in the audit and what still needs to be looked at. The only question I have, is why bother?
That's correct, why bother! As you know, there were three councilors that really wanted to get the fire department straightened out and stop the corruption that was occurring and as I recall, Mayor Bateman and Connie Cosemento tried their best to get a soft peddling consultant in here to do the audit which would have resulted in no changes. Remember the "Secret Meeting" to back door the project!
Now, with that said, and knowing that the entire new council taking power in 2008 was endorsed by none other than the "Oswego Fire Department" (which includes Cozy Cosemento), and knowing that there is not enough time to implement any of the findings by the current council, I say why bother! Write off the $30,000 as a good try as this "new fire department endorsed council" will shelf this study and the fire department will go on screwing
the taxpayers as they have for the past ten years. Of coarse, who's to blame except the voters that put this bunch of republican followers into office.""

I couldn't have said it better. Cozy Connie and her new SISTER--S Sour--who is married to an ex OFD Bubba, will bend over backwards for those who didn't sign the petition to get Geers and Amedio out of there. There are others elected who had OFD endorsement also.
I have to admit that I am very disappointed in Mayor Bateman, why he can't see how corrupt the non-petition signers of the OFD have been is beyond me. Even teenagers here know that they have gone to Montrose Falls for more than training!
Another Bateman decision that was wrong was waiting for the election to be over before the Audit Workshop was presented. It isn't fair that those few honest Alderman who worked hard to bring it to pass, won't be be around to see and talk about the other things that needed to be talked about.
Just who are you supporting Mayor Bateman ,the people of Oswego or some of our corrupt city workers? In the last 5 or 6 years there have been a few who got early suspension because of corrupt behavior, but it was hidden from the public. I think the public needs to know, and if NOT, why NOT?
I hope that J. Norfleet takes the test, he's dedicated, bright, honest, and has integrity, you can't say that about a good share of them.
