See guys, Warwick man is WFD former union president Bill Lloyd. If you remember, when former Councilman Cushman gave a presentation to the city council on the impact to residents tax base due to the unfunded pension liabilities, Lloyd organized firefighters to come to the city council and mock, whistle, jeer, and disrupt the presentation like adolescents.

Then Warwick Fire Fighter and Union president Bill Lloyd contacted Mr. Cushman's place of employment and threatened a nation wide fire fighter boycott if they did not fire Mr. Cushman. When the incident was covered on air by WPRO, Mr. Lloyd promised the Matt Allen show that he would go on air and explain his reasoning for threatening Mr. Cushman and his place of employment. Guess what, he never did, and in the interim, changed his phone number so that WPRO could not reach him. And he calls others cowards. What a piece of work.

See folks, this is the mentality that you have with many municipal workers. They think that "we" owe "them". If you voice your opinion with sound fact, documents, and numbers, they make personal attacks against you, and they do it anonymously or under fake names. Then they send hate mail to your house, sign you up for bogus magazine subscriptions, etc.. etc..

These are the "hero's" that constantly show this dysfunctional behavior. They bash anyone who has statistics and facts that have been generated by official documents, yet they offer no documents to substantiate their position other than personal attacks. Then they call everyone a liar and a coward. Who are the real liars and cowards?

The fire chief has been caught openly lying to the city council on a number of occasions. The department continually overspends its budget. The last 4 chiefs have come to the council and stated "if we increase the manpower we will eliminate overtime. It simply never happens, EVER. This is not to besmirch their life saving skills, but in no way should the last 3 chiefs have been in that position. The chief is an administrator. Administrators should have some fiscal experience, clearly the last few have had none as the department has grown out of control.

When 2 state agencies have to intervene into the workings of a municipal department to teach them how to keep records in accordance with the law, you have a problem. Its time to realize the problem and fix it.
