Sexual Harassment at Town Hall or.... where you work

The flood gates have opened all around us. Weinstien and Senator Moore have given women and men.. the confidence to come out the closet.. and tell their story. Every industry seems to be effected. I wonder if there are Town employee's who have suffered or still suffer harassment at the Local government level.
Tonight I heard about Charlie Rose. An icon in the industry and in my mind as well. Tomorrow will be another person, celebrity, politician in the news hitting on fellow employees.

So this page is completely anonymous and if you have been harassed at work.. I'm thinking public safety is prime hunting ground, after all, if they are willing to steal, kill, or sue their employer, cheat on OT and sick time,  they may be willing to go to any lengths to get what they want.

No names.. or names.. I'm just interested, after all, we are just like most America.

Giombetti is elected Council Chair

Not surprising to see Dennis being elected Chair and Sisitky as vice chair. Funny how the new government looks just like to old government. But we knew that going in. All eyes are going to be on them now to get things going. Look for lots of committe's and sub committees to tackle what Town Meeting did for hundreds of years..

Veterans Day 2017 .. some history about the Vietnam War

A little history most people will never know. Interesting Veterans Statistics off the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

There are 58,267 names now listed on that polished black wall, including those added in 2010.

The names are arranged in the order in which they were taken from us by date and within each date the names are alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 61 years since the first casualty.

The first known casualty was Richard B. Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth, Mass. Listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as having been killed on June 8, 1956. His name is listed on the Wall with that of his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, who was killed on Sept. 7, 1965.

There are three sets of fathers and sons on the Wall.

39,996 on the Wall were just 22 or younger.

8,283 were just 19 years old.

The largest age group, 33,103 were 18 years old.

12 soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old.

5 soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old.

One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was 15 years old.

997 soldiers were killed on their first day in Vietnam ..

1,448 soldiers were killed on their last day in Vietnam .

31 sets of brothers are on the Wall.

Thirty one sets of parents lost two of their sons.

54 soldiers attended Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia. I wonder why so many from one school

8 Women are on the Wall, Nursing the wounded.

244 soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War; 153 of them are on the Wall

Beallsville, Ohio with a population of 475 lost 6 of her sons.

West Virginia had the highest casualty rate per ca-pita in the nation. There are 711 West Virginians on the Wall.





The most casualty deaths for a single day was on January 31, 1968 ~ 245 deaths.


The most casualty deaths for a single month was May 1968 - 2,415 casualties were incurred.

FFD in the news again

According to the MWDN, one of our own robbed a bank, admitted it and said he spent the money already. He got 1K.. he makes nearly 70K? Can you imagine the overtime his absence will be? He's on administrative leave. Now that we know Cannon was endorsed by FFD, one has to wonder if he (Cannon) will support a complete top to bottom review of FFD.  My bet is he will get lots of money, even though he goes to jail. I'm sorry to hear he's a Veteran with more than a few rifles, and other guns in his home. Funny how the Metro West Drug Force, all 5 of them, arrested him. If that had been a black man.. he may have been killed. Lets see what the Mayor does with this pattern of bad emplyoee's in our Public Safety departments that bring shame to our Town.
