@MamaMia- you seem to comment a lot on here and I appreciate reading diverse views. I have asked the question and the answer seems to evade me. So I ask again with the hope of getting a straight answer.

Do you feel that your mayor has handled the death of my son appropriately? Before you answer if you choose to, please keep in mind of a few facts.

We had to literally fight for the changes that have currently taken place. Hiring of a training chief, safety chief and 18 additional firefighters. We had to fight for that because your mayor AND fire chief disagreed that these changes were needed, only now do they both boast of having it done. These are the attributes.that the mayor continues to broadcast to the media that the fire chief is ‘doing a good job’

The mayor along with the city attorney worked together to stop the department’s own safety investigation by counseling the fire chief to stop it. Why ? Why would the city not want all of the facts laid out ?

Why did the mayor cherry pick two experience firefighters resignation letters during a public press conference? Why did he not reference the entire letter? It was because it did not fit his narrative.

After an 85% no confidence vote in the department, why did the mayor ignore it along with the chief. The chief still fails to visit every station and every shift. He only visited a few due to commissioners highlighting that it’s important to do so. Again, nothing coming directly out of the fire chief’s office only him being reactive, rather than proactive.

Why did the mayor approve a PERFECT performance review for the fire chief just months after my sons death? My son was killed due to operational failures in the department. That is fact. So how in the universe does the person that heads that department still get a PERFECT performance review?

There is much more facts and evidence of a failed department and cover up from the city. But I ask you,

Do you think the mayor has done a good job at addressing the AFD issues and failed management?

Do you think that he has done justice by my son? Do you think he has done justice by me and my family’?
