Phil we are still waiting for the China report- which you asked for on the Council floor, then bagged everyone on as you stated in the Press article. You are the one giving this guy passes to screw up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil- this was very poorly planned on the part of those in charge ie Mayor Drew. Periodic plowing would have been a much better idea and hiring contractors- we knew about this for over a week! Something tells me the funds weren't there since this Mayor has been pissing them away.
ReplyDeleteMemo to Drew - the lack of transparency since you've took office and outright mis-statements you made about this storm and other issues have not gone un-noticed by the public. We are not as dumb as you treat us. It is strongly suggested that you start making changes to the way you govern and communicate if you hope to have a successful term and be re-elected. Right now both are in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Drew heap praise on himself for an almost non-existent highway crew? Can there be an investigation into why plow trucks are not operating as in previous snow storms? Does he have a relative who fell asleep and he’s covering up, thinking the little citizens wouldn’t say anything?
ReplyDeleteI knew Drew was going to be bad news for our city when his trip to China was announced. Quietly after he returned. No Chinese company will move to Middletown. Just like Malloy’s trip. No Chinese company will move to Connecticut. We should be thrilled we’re allowed to build in China and that’s what the trips were for.
Middletown hasn’t had a concerned, intelligent, hard-working mayor in decades. Each new one cleans what was done before, and then dirties with his/her own private list of perks and ineptness. Isn’t there someone out there who wants to, and CAN, handle mayoral responsibilities in a fair way?
Maybe we need to return to a county-wide government that spread responsibilities and benefits over several towns.
With all due respect councilman, other administrations handled storms just as bad just fine, Sounds like you are just doing damage control for Mr. drew. My street still isn't passable. I could careless how many tak forces and reports will be created to explain this away.
ReplyDeleteEver hear of the saying "Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it"? Remember the CL & P guy who kept telling everyone power would be back and it wasn't during the Oct 2011 storm? Mr. Drew ignored history and repeated it by not delivering on his predictions.
ReplyDeleteShould he face the same fate as the Cl & P guy?
Thanks Fill, the self-importance of your statement would have gone over my head without the ALLCAPS alert.
ReplyDeletePhil - Middletown is so sick of your grandstanding, blowing smoke up our a--. You were a good cop should have stayed deputy chief, but please don't try to lead because we're sick of hearing you tell everyone how great city employees are but at the same time they dropped the ball
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Governor
ReplyDeleteHi my name is danny. I am the mayor of a place called middletown. Isn't that great? I love to write press releases about how good I am and all the wonderful things I do. Some people don't like that but I just ignore 'em.
anyway, during the snow storm, I was busy writing press releases and playing with my video games. No one told me I was supposed to have a plan about getting the streets plowed. Now these whiners are complaining because their streets aren't plowed - like it's my fault that it snowed over there house or something.
I'm in a bit of a jam here. I gotta look good so I can get a big job on somebody's coat tails. I'm real good at that by the way (wink wink just in case you have a job opening). Can you send some of your big toys for the DPW guys to play with? A few loaders and plows ought to do the trick.
Thanks for helping a fellow Danny out.

I applaud any effort to review performance in order to find improvements. After-action reviews are a standard practice in business and government to review past operations for ways to improve performance and efficiency. An honest, open review of past operations is a productive, positive way to find improvements, remove reduncancies and find gaps. It can provide the basis for an improved response plan for the next emergency. It is not to assign blame. It is evaluation, not criticism. This was a significant weather event. Such events provide excellent opportunities to find improvements, if you're willing to look for them. Or, you can become defensive, and say that you did the best you could, attack the critics, and say that any honest critique of performance is a political vendetta.

well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mayor Drew for making Middletown the laughingstock of the state right up there with Hartford. We were the lead story on 2 different networks because you mismanaged the storm response. That is the kind of publicity this town does not need.
