Guest Guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Mayor and Council you really should SUPPORT OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILERS 100% AND PAY THEM LIKE YOU HAVE <{POST_SNAPBACK}> still true, now more than ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mangin Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 still true, now more than ever <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've said it before, but it bears repeating - the Mayor and Council should adopt a policy that treats all of our servicemen the same, regardless of the branch they serve in. If Firefighter Pettigrew receives his full pay, so should the other firefighters and police officers, or anyone else serving in the armed forces. The law says the Town doesn't have to pay, but they can still pay if they choose. And they should choose to. It's the right thing to do.

Jim Mangin Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 How about past practice?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Past practice" doesn't really apply in this case. The law was changed recently and that's the basis the Santos administration is using for changing the policy. Past practice wouldn't apply if the law changed. But, as I've said before on this issue, just because the law changed the Town's policy didn't have to change. Mayor Santos made the decision to change the policy with both eyes wide open. I think it would say a lot about his character if he were to admit that this policy change was a bad one. Jim Mangin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Whoaaa Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Seriously, do you people ever actually try to get the real story on any issue? Or is it simply easier and less strenuous on your limited capacity to reason, if you just spread untruths and innuendo?And of course it suits your vitriolic, self-serving anti-Santos agenda to call into question someone's patriotism. What a cheap and cowardly shot! Who the hell do you think you are? Joe McCarthy? How do you know what sacrifices people have made for God and Country, you self-righteous rumor monger? I don't know if you're male or female, but you've certainly got a pair of brass ones! Politicizing this issue, armed with lies and misinformation....now that's un-American and a total disgrace. While you're being so magnanimous about asking God's forgiveness for everybody else, you might want to seek a little for your own mean-spirited gossiping. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Calm down Babs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Mangin Jim, My husband was recently told at the firehouse that you have repeatedly stated on this board, "if Firefighter Pettigrew receives his full pay, so should the other firefighters and police officers..." if you are under the impression that my husband has in someway been treated differently or better than others in the same situation you are wrong and I resent your posting misinformation. Jack received what he was entitled to by law and nothing more. He was reduced to differential pay after his tours of duty (8-9 months each, 2 years in a row) exhausted the 90 days designated by law as a member of both the Naval Reserve and Naval Militia. Also I would like to point out that because of the new 24 hour tour schedule, that 90 days was cut to 45 days. Please call me if you are in need of further information on the subject or if you would like to see his paystubs. Merry Christmas, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack didn't receive anything he wasn't entitled to. I agree with you completely. My point was that the State legislature chose to treat one branch of the military reserve differently from other branches. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Town of Kearny chose to follow suit when they didn't have to. I did write about "special treatment" but it wasn't that Jack was receiving special treatment. To me, it's all the other reservists that deserve the special treatment. Then when everyone is getting the same treatment, we can ditch the word "special." How about it? Just treat everyone the same. Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a no-brainer. Jim Mangin ps - I did wish ****** a Merry Christmas from you. I hope yours and ****'s is merry as well. Hey, you know what? These little *'s remind me of ******'s pet name for me. Only she likes to call me !@#$%!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't or you wouldn't be posting this. There is a plan in effect. If you want to know more just e-mail me. joeweber@khstrackalumni.com The program was a mockery of it's former self and there was no one qualified, experienced and knowledgeable enough to take over. Jim was the right person at the time to step in to get the program moving in a positive direction (take a look at the participation numbers, as compared to recent years). It is too bad that it got to the point that it did, but it could have been avoided. JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always looking out for the kids and the programs best interests. But, there is one thing that I can't stand is when someone gives their opinion on something and doesn't use their name and someone like you wants to get in their face and wants to know why they don't use their name!!!! It's not just you, there are people that bash others that don't use their name all the time. Sometimes these anonymous people have legitamate points, yet others are way off point. The bottom line is this Town and most Towns are so political that it will be their kids that suffer the repercussions whether they are right or wrong!! I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

The only reason he got the coaching job over so many qualified, younger teachers, is due to the fact that his family is so highly connected in the town council( Laura Ciffelli-Pettigrew, Barbara Sherry Ciffelli and, Albert Ciffeli) and on the kearny bd of ed .
