Orono to assume responsibility for most of Navarre area in July
Crazy sounding? Split service, mobile dept out of storage garage? You know what they say - if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Let’s stick with Long Lake Fire!
Mayor Walsh Disrespects Citizen Views, Again
Here's a fascinating exchange where Mayor Walsh has apparently blocked certain Citizens from commenting. Well we have far more views here than the Mayor's facebook page anyway. Please do comment below! Orono Fire Long Lake Fire Department #denniswalshformayor Thank you Shane for pointing out the obvious - Mayor Walsh apparently refuses to negotiate on any front and that is what will get him voted out this November. #togetherwearebetter Friends of Orono
Breaking News: The Laker & Pioneer story on Orono's 2nd Contempt of Court ruling
The Key takeaway? "Orono Mayor Dennis Walsh said Orono would continue to pursue the creation of the Orono Fire Department."
Even though the vast majority of Citizens do not want it.
Even though no budget has been given to the Citizens (because it's somewhere around 10X what is being paid now).
Long Lake Fire Service has always been the answer!
The Simple, Low Cost Answer = Safe Service with #LLFD
Let’s not tinker with public safety. Let’s not try to fix something that isn’t broken. Let’s not spend tens of millions for a fire fiefdom for #OronoMayorDennyWalsh and Orono Council Member #mariaveach
There isn’t one single reason to move away from Long Lake Fire according to the Orono City Council. Orono City Council members admit that there is nothing wrong with the #longakefiredepartment service.
Why doesn't Maria Veach Recuse herself from all Fire Related Matters?
What is a conflict of interest?
A conflict of interest is a situation in which a person or organization has two or more competing interests. When a conflict of interest occurs, the person or team can't perform their duties appropriately because it could mean betraying their interests to one of the parties within the situation. When such a situation arises, it's often a legal requirement for the primary party to remove themselves.
Mayor Walsh Spends More and More on Failed LLFD Take Over
Mayor Dennis Walsh sure likes to spend taxpayer dollars on his pet projects doesn't he? Now he wants a temporary fire station apparently because his hostile attempt at taking over Long Lake Fire Department failed. He's hoping you don't notice that he's spending more and more funding on a duplicate fire department we don't need.
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
Walsh wants to spend $15-$20 Million Dollars Extra on Fire
Why do we need to spend $15-$20 Million or more Extra Dollars on a Duplicate Fire Department? That’s the fiscally prudent question that Mayor Walsh could not answer in the Coffee for the Mayor meeting held on 8/16/23. You can watch the entire meeting here: https://youtu.be/Rcu8c23X8qg
The Deal is On the Table Orono City Council!
Long Lake is offering Orono more control of the Existing Fire Department. The city of Long Lake is offering to create a new governance board for the existing fire department. Orono began exploring this idea until Mayor Walsh stopped the negotiations.
