Wanting a new firehouse is nothing new. Others where knock down in the past
or closed down.
Five years ago, the city officials and occupants of the building did
nothing to stop the bricks from falling off the corner of the building. It was
to show the world that the old building was falling apart brick by
brick.
For 4 months, at council meetings, I talk about the firehouse
shabby appearance . Even the sidewalk was unsafe to walk on both sides of
the firehouse. When the bricks were finally cemented back in place, Weiner said
they did the repair job historically wrong at a council
meeting.
At the same time Terry Weldon was helping one of his buddies' assembly lots
on Langford St. between 1st & 2nd Ave. A house on 1st Ave was
knocked down without a permit by the buddy. That how the story
broke. Terry's plan was to have his pal own the new firehouse and
lease it back to the city someday. He was the city manager. The rest
is history. The press did a small story about the need for a new
firehouse.
Five years later the city officials and the same council did nothing to fix
up the most handsome firehouse on RT 71. Brady Beach restored their firehouse 2
years ago.
Tom, do the taxpayers vote on a
new firehouse?
