There not excuses. The Mayor has cut the budget and staff so much that one guy gets sick that a hole is now opened in the roster for the day. Have you seen our sidewalk plows? They are so old and inadequate it takes an hour to plow one street some times as the thing breaks down constantly. I know a guy who runs one and he says he fights the thing the entire time he is out there. If you think our DPW head has any say you are wrong. The Mayor calls out the plows and calls the snow emergencies not our DPW head who should be in charge of that. Chiasson has asked to use Social Media for the Dept but she constantly says NO saying one Twitter account for the entire city.

ReplyIf anyone needs an example of the Mayor's ways just read this comment from Monday Nights Meeting...
"I witnessed 2 city employees today using a city vehicle to shop at Ocean State Job lot on River Street, Until I know they won't be used for personal use I will not be buying any new city vehicles" WHAT! So instead of firing the 2 incompetent employees she instead plays her little game with the Taxpayer money and will not invest one dime in an entire dept. That is an excuse!! What's her excuse for not funding a new sidewalk plow? Can't take one of those shopping. Its just more of her horrible running of this city. -

ReplyAnyone who does not blame the Mayor and Blames Chiasson has no idea what there talking about and have been blinded by the mayors lies. The fact she wants to contract out more work is just ridiculous. We have 20 something contractors now and they are not doing there job so lets give them more of the plowing oh and hey instead of actually funding a sidewalk plow she wants to bid that out too. WHAT A JOKE! She has not invested one dime in the DPW for equipment and repairs in about 18 Months! She needs to fund the department. Stop buying rentals which is costing about as much as a new truck by the time we pay it off. Her last 3 years can't end soon enough.

Almost ever street listed here is on a paving list. Issue is Money $$$ and then utilities. Unlike years ago when they would pave roads then rip it up to put in new pipes they now have utilities come in and replace there pipes then they pave. So many streets wait for paving while utilities are being replaced.
