Facebook

Posted on August 13, 2010 by whatever

I’m so glad that most of the town goverment is on facebook. It makes it alot easier to get up to the min. info. I have noticed thought that Rescue has been really busy and thanksto all those people. I all so noticed that with the volume of calls and there were many that were back to back. Lebanon could of used a second ambulance twice. I could be wrong but just going by what is on facebook. All the statements state multiply calls very little about the need for 2 ambulance. Is this peak season?

    I am one who is all for greater transparency and if Facebook is the avenue which the town will use this is fine as a start.
    If that is the case then ALL posting should be placed on Facebook this includes meeting notices, bid requests, news events etc. It seems a little hit or miss right now.
    It is great that Rescue posts incident information on calls, road closings and storm warning etc. Why not a similar posting for the Fire Departments calls? Why not post the meeting minutes for Departments and Selectmen?
    It is great the Rescue is doing so much on notifications it would be good to see other departments follow suit and see the information be a bit more inclusive.

    I also like facebook and love the information you get right up to the minute. I hope someone can answer this so I can make an informed decision. I saw all the literature for the new ambulance and I see on their facebook page about the need for the 2nd one and thats justified.

    I am sure we are going to vote on a new fire truck again. Can someone from the FD tell us how many times every truck they have was needed on a call. Not how many calls it went on and just stood by, but that they physically needed the truck. This will help us make a reasonable decision. I see they have fires and then read some of them were extinquished and no truck was used, but it still goes as a building fire.

    The more info we can get, the better decision we can make.

    I posted a notice on the Towns Facebook page to notify residents that the budget committee was meeting with selectmen this coming Tuesday.. It was deleted.

    Yes Glen, the town does not allow incorrect info that is not factual. The site is for positive, or at least truthful, information. We block special interest sites that provide false info, if they want to see that, they can to plenty of websites!

    It seems that some of our delightful elected officials are continuing to hide information and mislead the public. It is time for the tax payers to TAKE BACK OUR TOWN!!

    Yes, SAVE OUR TOWN, some elected budget committee members continue to hide info and mislead the public,

    kinda like you are – why don’t you share your name? Not a resident or a family member of one of the members who can’t seem to share truthful facts ;-) )
