You are correct - it is the mailman's job to deliver mail. This is not mail. We are talking about a hand-delivered piece of paper. Had these pieces of paper not been hand carried to resident's homes, the mailman would not have had any more mail to deliver. Do you honestly believe we would have spent that much $ to mail out that many flyers? Of course not. We (Rubins and Curtins alike) did all spend our time going out and delivering flyers to resident's houses. You do realize that campaigns are personally-funded, right???? Some flyers WERE mailed, and postage was paid on those, and the mailman delivered those.
There is no parallel to dispatching in Holbrook. They hired Dave, plain and simple, because they choose to have paid dispatchers. If Holbrook chooses to have members man the radios, and they were to get rid of paid dispatchers, then Dave would work in another department that DOES have paid dispatchers.
As for flyers in Hobrook - why would Dave put out flyers in Holbrook? He was not running for commissioner there. What are you talking about????
As for Dave's "big idea" (Clever username, by the way - how about signing a REAL name??? better yet, YOUR real name!!!) - that is his option to share the idea, or not. However, it is certainly not something he would've put on literature b/c it IS just that - an IDEA!!! Not a guarantee. So, you'd have to be an “Smarty pants” to print something that you were not sure you could do. Perhaps he will come to a meeting at some point and propose his idea to the commissioners. Perhaps he won't. Only time will tell. As for you, your 'chance' came a little too late. Perhaps you should've gotten off of YOUR high horse a few days ago and asked. Now, to be honest, I can't say that he would've posted it on here anyway, since it was simply an idea, not a guarantee, and this is just a board full of anonymous users.
Finally, whoever "volunteers needed" is. "The wife" does not need to "let him" - if he chooses to join, that would be his choice. However, that said, let's be real. Should we rehash all the abuse that he has taken over the last few weeks as a PRIVATE CITIZEN? I would not even want to imagine the abuse he would take if he were to walk through those doors as a probie. C'mon. It was stated on this board this week that there is no way he would be accepted by the members. So now, you are suddenly welcoming him as one of you. Yeah, ok, that's realistic....
