Suzanne Bielinski has announced that she wants back on the Council. She admitted that she is passionate about public safety - I add, the Fire Department and certain members of Local 992. In this writer’s opinion, Bielinski was one of the most destructive, obstructive, and delay experts of any Council member during the Stewart years.
One of Stewart’s first major hires was a fire chief. The fire department and 992 had been given a “gift contract” by Lucian Pawlak, a gift that haunts the city to this day. When the Mayor hired Mark Carr as Fire Chief, certain members of Local 992, supported by the Democrat Council of which Bielinski was a member, went ballistic. The City was confronted with some of the most hateful acts ever perpetrated by a Local Union on a Fire Chief, NB Mayor and a certain Council member. Overloading the Council chambers with 992 members, large signs placed on private homes, etc. Uncooperative acts by 992 members against the new chief, grievances by the dozen – still active today – by 992 members that are officers of Local 992 today. Local 992 supported a former alderman to be Stewart’s opponent in a Mayoral race. They placed signs illegally all over the streets, especially around Vance School and jeered at Stewart supporters at polling places. One of the unsuccessful candidates for Chief recently prepared a 30 page “report” trying to obstruct the building of the police station downtown.
Through Bielinski, the Local 992 has blocked successfully, the appointment of an Assistant Fire Chief – union doesn’t like it. Bielinski wanted a Deputy Chief to do the job because they could get overtime, Assistants don’t.
Ladder company members brag that they are “dozing for dollars” in their firehouses because they are not required to make first responder calls. It’s the “best job we ever had.” Bielinski supports all of these shenanigans. If there was ever a way to block or delay a Stewart proposal, Bielinski would be part of it. Bipartisan effort? What a crock.!
Bielinski is a perfect McNamara Candidate; devious, partisan, insidious and anti common people. She is a winner take all, socialist candidate. She is not for the common people, she is a McNamara Democrat, pure and simple.
At least Sherwood is out.
ReplyDeleteSherwood was a dumbocrat who did real damage.
Fortunately for us O'Brien apparently threw him to the curb and now the cubies on the Council are left without Papabear.
If only the DTC chair knew when it was time to go we would be through with the pesky dems who pushed their so-called progressive, socialist, job killing agendas.
It isn't over until the fat lady sings!
ReplyDeleteWhere else can you get a job where you make $45 and hour on overtime getting paid to sleep?
