Why is it, the same Democratic Councilmember`s keep knocking the Police and Fire Department`s need for staffing for the overall protection of the City of Middletown?? In November of 2008 Councilmen Serra and Leffredo wanted to block and postpone the hiring of additional firefighters as was appoved by fire officials and Mayor Giuliano,, oh I forgot that was before the election of 2009. And now that the election of the Democrat`s are back in office we are back to the same political vengence. As we speak the same Councilmembers are summiting a resolution for tonight`s Council meeting for Mayor Giuliano`s approval of the request of the acting Police Chief (not supporting) to promote acting positions (with no financial impact) within the Police Department calling it a violation of the City charter, not being authorized by the Common Council. " THE NEED FOR BETTER STAFFING AND SECURITY IN THESE TURBULENT TIMES AND LEAD TO A EFFICIENT POLICE FORCE" that`s what the Democratic caucus was preaching before the November election, speaking of SHAMS..
