On Edgerton Fire District hires chief, deputy chief

Has anyone been following this??? Imagine that... You have to wonder why the Edgerton Fire Protection District board took so long going through the motions. I will agree that Demrow and Beckwith have probably done a good job in their member elected positons, but how could this board justify hiring Demrow as chief when the other candidate will be getting his BS *Bachelor of Science* degree within the year. That candidate has gone to college to become a Fire Service Management employee. He has years more experience as a firefighter than Demrow, he has trained and led 10 times as many firefighters as Demrow. --Oh wait thats right Linsley helped Demrow write his own job description and helped him decide how much money he wanted to make.. The 'good ole boys club' at it again... When are the citizens in the townships and city that are represented on the Edgerton Fire Protection district going to do something about this. When are they going to realize that it is their taxpayer money being thrown away. Several years ago, this Fire Departement didn't need full time employees and the taxpayers spent over a million dollars fighting that. Now just a few months after the settlement of that lawsuit and they've decided they do need full time staff... What a crock!! Every citizen in the Edgerton Fire Protection District area needs to contact their representative and express their dissatisfaction with how this board does things. Somehow this board should be held accountable for all of their shady underhanded ways of doing things.

gary you are so correct. Every thing that has happened in the last few years on this board is underhanded. Verging on corrupt. But unless the citizens of these communities start voicing their concerns the board will continue to waste taxpayer money....
