Warwick Man (boy) or shall I say Bill Lloyd

1. The WFD was found to be in violation of the records retention act Title 38. If you stop hiding and give me your email address I will forward you all of the communication from the SOS.

2. No one impersonated a Warwick fire fighter, there is no state police investigation on bid tampering either. I called the vendor , as I have the right to do so as a tax payer, and requested the specifications on the machine as they were not specified in the bid. Having 30 years experience building, operating, and maintaining high pressure systems., I am very well versed on the subject. Coincidentally, after obtaining the specs I found the identical machine from another vendor several thousand dollars less, and also found that the WFD did not present the fact that there was a $1650 charge to deliver the machine. So please get your facts right and don't skew the truth.

3. Your chief has been known to publicly lie and mis represent facts.

Example - He told councilman Ladouceur that there were a total of 1203 sick days in 2016. Fact was that there were 1915 sick days.

Example - He told councilman Merolla that 100% of the vacation days were covered at straight time by the floaters. Fact is that in the first fiscal quarter, 1105 out of 1105 vacation days were covered at the overtime rate.

Example - He told the council that in no way could a firefighter use Change of Shift to work at another job. Fact is that documents were presented from the State of RI Division of purchasing showing a Warwick Firefighter engaged in a prevailing wage job at Green Hall at URI. The clerk of the works sent me the contract, the bid award, the emails from the Warwick fire fighter to the project manager, the change orders, the bill from the Warwick firefighter, and copies of the payments. All of this information was cross referenced with the accountability sheets showing that man utilized change of shift no less than 7 times on days he worked at URI.

Example- He told the council that change of shift has no impact on the budget. Fact is it preserves vacation days and sick days to me monetized at a later date at a higher rate. 1391 vacation days totaling in excess of $523,00 should have come off the books last year alone. On the weekend of August 18-20, 41 change of shifts were performed so men could go to Maine to play baseball.

Example - Change of shift is a regular occurrence so men that play softball on the team "Smoke Showin" can go play games which start at 6:15pm.

So stop with your nonsense and attempts to discredit someone who actually reads the documents, procures the documents, and has the ability to perform simple math.

Oh yeah, one other fact. The WFD has been in violation of city statutes by masking their sick time and including the numbers in the line item for salary. Every department breaks down that line item. It is line item 100 in every budget. WFD line item is 35-100. Now, because I discovered the abuse and misrepresentation, the WFD is forced to identify all sick time on a separate line item for the purpose fiscal disclosure.

Continue to attempt to disparage the messenger, it will only work with the ill informed.
