Orono Council member Richard F. Crosby II - Denying Long Lake Fire Department Legacy?
How does Mr. Crosby come up with these statements? He said during the 7/24/23 Orono City Council Work Session, “...that doesn’t even cover the lack of support and equipment the department needs…” Who voted to underfund and under capitalize the Long Lake Fire Department since you came into office Mr. Crosby? You did. Please take responsibility for your own actions instead of cowardly blaming the City of Long Lake. #integritymatters
An Invitation to our Firefighters and surrounding Communities
Fire Fighters! Are you willing to risk going to a 40-year-old+ model that is proven to be antiquated and unsustainable? (National statistics show Fire Districts are far more cost effective and possibly safer).
Is the City of Orono in Breach of Contract with the City of Long Lake?
Is Orono in Breach of Contract with the City of Long Lake? Read the letter that was just delivered to the City of Orono in last week. In it you will find 4 possible breaches of contract:
1) Hiring away Long Lake's Fire Chief
2) Purchasing the Ladder Truck that Long Lake was considering to purchase
3) Approaching the state Legislature to move the present Fireman’s Relief Association funding from the City of Long Lake to Orono.
4) Refusing to pay future Capital expenditures for the Long Lake Fire Department.
