Subject: Firehouse Committee

Hi Mark, How are you, Hope all is well with you and your family. Well after reading and hearing the ridiculous rumors that are going around I'd thought I would give you a little insight on the facts of the situation of the firehouse committee and maybe put an end to all the misinformation out there. I joined this committee in hopes of helping reopen the East Fire Station, when this committee was first mentioned at the city council meeting and formed I had thought that this would be something that everyone could work together and maybe come up with an idea or two to help reopen this station whether it be fundraising or helping clean it out. In no way shape or form did I ever have the idea that this was an opposition committee, after the first meeting everyone had decided that we would have a walk through of the firehouse to examine the property to see if it could be fixed what that walk through turned out to be was anything but that, it was a three ring circus, I am sorry but this is not how I choose to spend my time. After that day I decided to issue a statement at the next meeting, offering suggestions on how things should be handled so we do not look like a bunch of publicity seekers. Well all hell has broken out since then, I have been accused of "Dethroning" a committee member from their leadership, rumors have been circulating that I am being instructed by the administration ( God I wish I was that important, Lol)and now the letter that was posted about Rob standing up at a council meeting expressing now to discuss union issues when there was no union representation there. I would just like to let everyone know that I play politics with no one, anyone that knows me well would know that, I have been fighting the good fight for quite sometime now when others just stood in the background and I am a bit sick and tired of all the nonsense circulating just because I may have ruffled someone's feathers when I issued a statement at a committee meeting because I rather work with tactfulness, rather than a vicious circle. Bottom line, my husband worked out of this station for six years, it needs a hell of a lot more that just a roof, firefighters put their lives on the line day in and day out, so should they also be at risk in their own firehouse when the building my come down on them one day? I am very concerned that this firehouse is closed, but also it concerns me to put firefighters back into a dilapidated, pigeon shit infested building. Thanks for your time, Shelby Sudnick sshelby121@juno.com
