Mr. Cote be prepared. As the previous two bloggers demonstrated, the old special interest playbook of "attack the messenger when you can't attack the message" is now in play. It was only a few years ago when a concerned taxpayer had the audacity to question the sustainability of Warwick's pensions that he was subjected to the same fate.

Wilkinson, the union attack dog, called that individual a "hobbyist" thirteen times before he uttered a single word. Wilkinson's purpose was to destroy his credibility before he even got started. Lloyd, the WFD union president, contacted that person's employer and threatened a boycott if he wasn't terminated. So much for free speech in Warwick. Thankfully, his employer told Lloyd that their employee had ever right to voice his opinion. We still live in America.

I found it outlandish that one of the previous bloggers told you (Mr. Cote) that you are responsible if the city gets fined because the Fire Chief did not maintain the state mandated forms. It 's too bad you have to substitute for Avedisian by making sure everyone performs their job properly. Anyone who attends budget hearing year after year hear the same refrain from the acting Fire Chiefs....this year because of the new fire recruits the fire overtime will be under control. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened for over 10 years.

I'm sure the retired seniors in Warwick that have barely gotten a Social Security COLA raise in years, the school children who need a new school and taxpayers who have seen their taxes increase every year under Avedisian applaud Mr. Cote for trying to bring accountability to the WFD.
