THE KEYBOARD COWBOY AT IT AGAIN

Gorman responds to masked “keyboard cowboy”

Well Taxpayer, your false accusations and implicit commentary are WAY OFF AS USUAL. The more you comment about matters that you don’t clearly comprehend the more you appear to be like the kinds of Fred Gralinski, Pat Morgan or her paid handler Chuck Newton.

I understand that truthful and accurate comments only serve to discredit your ridiculousness and your desire to dismantle the fire district, but more hyperbole is not what is needed when the community is faced with a looming crisis. If you funneled all of your negative energy and hatred towards me and really reached deep inside, I’m certain that you could find more constructive ways to help this very real situation affecting the public safety infrastructure in this community. You might even be able to solve the world peace issue.

Your quick to defend Fred Gralinski and Patricia Morgan, to most of us, that only underscores your alliance to each of them. Your utilization of accusations, lies, and deception makes it obvious that you took a page right from their communal playbook. Your novel is so closely aligned with the same distorted assertions of the CCFD BoD and the Coventry Citizens Task FARCE (one in the same and all under Morgan’s tutelage) that it could be construed as a plagiarism.

I will continue to provide the residents of Coventry with the undisputable facts. Facts that accurately and fairly depict what is really going on, behind the scenes. My honest assertion of the facts will allow the residents of this Town to truly cut through the deceitful foolish talk spewed by ignorant “keyboard cowboys” such as yourself and politicians like Morgan and her cronies. Accurate and truthful proofs are what are needed to move forward. Not your lies, not Morgan’s lies, not this Boards Lies.

The Facts are as follows:

· No one challenged when or why the Board hired the attorney. I, in fact challenge exactly how the Board moved to hire Patricia Morgan’s personal Law firm who had previously represented her in this very case, without any RFP process, Ethics Commission Opinion or any discussion whatsoever.

· I have never stated that they did not or will not need an attorney. We all know that as long as they continue down the path that they’re on, they will undoubtedly need legal representation, for that matter, possibly bail money.

· The fact is that it is unlawful to conduct the business that this Board conducts in executive session and then fail to disclose any information to the public. (see RIGL § 42-46-4 )

· The firefighters assert unfair labor practice charges based on the Boards blatant disregard for the law and their wish to illegally terminate and then replace the current employees. That is union busting. Like it or not, it is an unlawful action (see Title 28 of RIGL)

· The Board that you hold in such high regard was elected with the support and encouragement of Morgan and Kettle. When Morgan and Kettle asked the AG for an investigation into CCFD, their actions were lauded, but when the shoe is on the other foot, the Board’s slanted perception is to compare legal preservation to a “Terrorist Attack”.

Is it appropriate to assume, that according to your thought process, we need all turn our heads away each time the law is violated by this Board.

· Any pension benefit that retired firefighters may receive is mandated and regulated by RI Gen. Law (see Rhode Island Retirement Security Act of 2011)

· CCFD and all the other Fire Districts in the Coventry have nothing to do with the Town of Coventry’s severely unfunded pension system. Each district is in the Municipal Employees Retirement System (Western may be excluded, that I’m not certain of)

· By state statue, overtime earnings are not in way calculated nor can they be calculated to increase a pension. (Source Rhode Island Retirement Security Act of 2011)

· “Compensation”is defined by the “MERS” to mean salary or wages earned and paid for the performance of duties for covered employment... but shall not include payments made for overtime or any other reason other than performance of duties. (Sourcewww.ersri.org)

· Your “buzz phrase” of being bought off with pension promises is another deceptive, misleading, and inflammatory comment designed to incite public outrage. Nothing can be bought because pensions, thank the good heavens above, are taken completely out this boards hand and are controlled by the Municipal Employees Retirement System.

· You are clearly a duplicitous coward who lurks in the shadows of a computer monitor casting grenades at public servants for no reason other than jealous hatred. To say that I got caught stealing is a defamatory statement to say the absolute least. However rational minds see your motivation to assault, defame and slander me.

· The contract that was fairly negotiated during concession bargaining had nothing to do with the misfortunes of CCFD.

· The $800,000.00 error back in 2010’ caused by the CCFD tax office and then duplicated again in 2011’ when John R. Assalone made a motion to level fund the district is what set the ball in motion.

· Patricia Morgan and her taskfarce have continued to make sure that the snowball cast by Assalone develops into a full blown avalanche with mass destruction for all.

So if I was Poltifact, the masked keyboard cowboy aka “taxpayer”to the bloggers, gets a “LIAR pants on fire” for his last post.
