WE GET LETTERS
12-23-08



          The following letter was sent to at least one of our elected officials and to us. We are printing it just as we received it. We are calling on Mayor Evans and the members of City Council to do something about the deplorable misuse of city vehicles and funds which presently exist in the Selma Fire Department.

          We believe that everything that is said in this letter is true. This misuse of city vehicles needs to be stopped immediately. While attention has been focused on the Selma Police Department during the past 4 years, the Fire Department has been the center of much abuse of public trust and funds. For example, for the city's CHRISTMAS PARADE THIS YEAR, Chief Allen called in 6 off duty firemen to serve as drivers in the parade for city dignitaries. EACH FIREMAN WAS PAID FOR AN 8 HOUR SHIFT EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY WORKED A COUPLE OF HOURS. What a waste of city funds when some workers are being laid off. We doubt that the city officials they drove even knew these firemen were called in just to drive them around!

          We have information about the fire department which should alarm the citizens of Selma. After the Christmas season and New Year, we will begin to make it known. IT MUST BE STOPPED AND CHIEF ALLEN, LIKE CHIEF JIMMY MARTIN, MUST BE REPLACED NOW!!!
