Middlebury's
blog since 2004...
Let's see who is a liar...Perrotti who
claims he is "speaking for the members"...says that
DeAngelis' claims about expenses are "false". Let's
look at the document... HERE
And "thousands in legal fees" is "false"???--Hell
ONE bill is over $ 6000.00 HERE
Readers have asked to see the
actual record of the Disciplinary
Hearing of Atty Savarese. We feel that since
the case is so important to the Straw Pond
issue we post it here
MINUTES EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF SELECTMEN Wednesday, June
3, 2009 – 5:00 p.m.
Town Hall Conference Room
Some excerpts from the minutes:
"Chief Perrotti stated that there is a contradiction
that the Police Union was willing to do the
concessions and not go on with the HSA."
"Mrs. Proulx stated that Ledgwood and Meadowview
were built with federal grants so there could be other
ramifications. "
Mr. Desmarais said that he thinks that charging a fee
for the use of the Transfer Station is not
unreasonable. He added that the cost to the
resident to do this would be cheaper than what you
would pay Copes.
Mr. McAuliffe asked if there would be a 0% mil
increase. Mr. Gormley said that last year it became
like a game; so we went through four reiterations to
get to a point where we should have been to the
start. He feels that we should cut to the chase now;
for full copy of minutes got HERE
LOCAL LAWYER FLUNKS AS TRIAL WITNESS
It concerns many of us that Superior Court Judge Salvatore Agati
ruled that when Steve Savarese was sworn in as a witness he
didn't abide by the "whole truth" part of the oath. What concerns
us is that Judge Agati is now the Administrative Judge in the
Straw Pond cases. Should Savarese be representing us or be
involved at all in the defense of Straw Pond which is being heard
by Judge Agati? We ask this in light of the previous meeting
between Agati and Savarese. Why doesn't this situation bother
Mr. Gormley and Mr. Savarese and why don't they act accordingly
so that the townspeople get adequate representation in this
case? HERE
Number of people who voted AGAINST THE BUDGET was a hell of
a lot more than would have voted in a 30 person town hall
meeting or 45 person fire house election for 'chief'. HERE
Gutless "Friends of Middlebury" didn't have many friends HERE
Middelbury Bee Intelligencer chosen to carry budget "truth"
articles HERE
Perrotti ordered to turn over information to DeAngelis HERE
For cool video go HERE
VOTE "NO" TO THIS BUDGET THAT
RAISES TOWN SPENDING. TO HELL WITH
DAYTON WHO SAYS 'BORROWED' MONEY
IS REALLY NO INCREASE...AS IF WE
WON'T HAVE TO REPAY IT. TODAY
VOTE
NO TO THIS MIL RATE INCREASE. HERE
SAY NO to this budget They are raising our
taxes, costing us money by breaking
collective bargaining laws, borrowing
money and draining the reserve funds. This
administration is totally incompetent. HERE
Union demonstration draws more people
than Gormley's politican "announcement"
party that Perrotti threw him in a puclic
building HERE
Middlebury Water Commission seen
going down the drain HERE
Gormley turns his back
on the contracts he agreed
to previously so the planned
demonstration is "on". HERE
Tom Gormley feels it is okay to yell at
people, he feels okay in calling the police on
a woman at the Conservation Commission
who SPOKE against him but when some
men tell him they are coming to speak to
him...he runs away and refuses to talk to
them...HERE
The Health Care issue between the town
employees and the town is a especially
distressing problem for the following
people:
Steve Ferrucci HERE
Bob Desmarais HERE
Ron Clark HERE
The health care issue revolves around how
Tom Gormley and Larry tried to sidestep
the law as much as the issues involved
HERE
Gormely withholds permission to DeAngelis
to use Fire House for political
announcement after using it himself for
same reason. HERE
FINANCIAL MATTERS
Does Gormley know that the local
Teamsters health insurance is CHEAPER
than the system he is trying to force on the
employees? HERE
Middlebury spends more per capita for legal fees
than any town or city in CT. Take a look at some
of the items billed by the town attorney, Steve
Savarese. These bills represent just what Steve
takes off the top, they don't represent the
money we pay to attorneys that Steve hires to do
the real work ( at least four others that he hires
) .HERE
It's one thing to argue about what records a
town agency will hand over to a citizen. It is
another for that agency to waste thousands of
dollars of the town's money. HERE
Cell phone bills for cell phones used by the fire
dept produce enormous sized unnecessary monthly
bills. From the bills themselves we see a monthly
billing cycle that looks more like the bill for the
entire fire dept. of Waterbury and Hartford
combined rather than this small town. Take a look
HERE
Area towns are decreasing spending
unlike Middlebury...HERE
Look at all DeAngelis has done on his
own. Imagine what he could do if he was
the First Selectman.( if he decides to
run). HERE
======
more waste
Since they came into office in Dec. of
2007, the administration of Gormley and
Desmarais has increased town spending
by ALMOST ELEVEN PERCENT. HERE
The current administration tells us that
there is no, or at best, only a small
increase in the Middelbury budget. HERE
Except for increasing taxes, draining
town reserve funds and borrowing money,
Middlebury is holding the line fiscally
according to Selectmen T. Gormley and
R. Desmarais. HERE

accomplishments since they've been in

Perrotti will embarrass entire town at April 15 FOI hearing in
Hartford...and it he will keep doing it until your last
dollar is gone---and then he'll get Dayton to Bond some
more dough HERE
Battling FOI: Secrecy is expensive HERE
According to the Charter, Gormley and Desmarais should not be
voting as Selectmen to give themselves and their family money as
firefighters. HERE
Where's the budget? HERE
Is Tom Gormley the First Selectman or in the words of
Col. Kurtz is he a grocery clerk sent to collect a bill for
the owners...HERE

Where's the money that the town of Hamden
