GMoney, I would quit as chief as well. But I would never take the job based on a buddy system in the first place. Its always harder to walk away when you owe someone something.

According to the Fire Chief in Franklin Township nothing has changed as far as mutual aid goes. Everything is the same as it was yesterday. Seriously if the trustee did do that and I was his fire chief, he’d be looking for a new chief.

The most important thing here is the well fare of the community. Put all egos aside especially Mr. Royalty and do what is best. I feel sorry for the FTFD personnel who are in the middle of this, who sadly might get crapped upon.

[...] Because I called out Terry Royalty on his reported annual four-month stints in Florida, he’s apparently cancelling all mutual aid agreements with IFD, Beech Grove and Perry Township. That means if there’s a major fire in Franklin Township and they need help, the trustee won’t call for it. That also means if there was a problem in IFD, Beech Grove or Perry, Franklin township would not respond with assistance. [...]

Get real – anybody that lives in Franklin Township and keeps up on what is going on KNOWS he is a snowbird historically. If you didn’t know shame on you!

Dang I almost picked duptee chief as my name when I wrote my first comment. Funny.

Terry is a bold face liar. Its common knowledge in FT that he spends his winters in Florida. Whats worse is that Terry and his admin refuse to discuss plans for the future of FTFD when consolidation gets killed again. I pray for the firefighters because Terry would lay them all off before he would consider giving up control of his fire department.

Hey, you can count on this trustee for one thing…he’s always back from Florida in time to pull out his suit and testify why Townships do it better!!! It’s the one time a year when his baby blue coveralls get to air out.

Nevermind that he isn’t there from October to February (which I guarantee you he is not, Daytona is nice for that part of the year isn’t it). Where is he the rest of the year? He sure the hell isn’t in the office, Trustee Civils, er I mean township administrator Civils, is the one running the show all year. Try calling his office, he’s to busy planning his next auction to worry about handing out poor relief. But at least he has a fire department vehicle to drive around in.
