Enough foul-mouthed residents are complaining about a continued lack of power that the town manager has instructed employees to hang up on them.
Town Manager Steve Werbner sent out an e-mail to residents Monday morning asking callers to tone down the language — which has included threats.
Can we hear the "threats" ? Anger isn't a threat. Saying they'll see you fired isn't a threat, just so you know.
"This one call was extremely nasty and threatening," said one member of Werbner's staff Monday afternoon. She declined to elaborate.
Oooo, they were "nasty". Do you have heat and hot water after ten days ?
I personally have seen convoys of trucks leaving the TOLLAND CL&P service area office headed to other Towns. While I understand things are bad elsewhere, TOLLAND continues to receive a disproportionate percentage of available resources in comparison to our outage figures. The inability of CL&P to be able to tell us where crews have gone, work plans for the remaining light hours, repair time for highest priorities, how they plan to address roads that have downed wires causing safety concerns is beyond belief...
As your Town Manager I will continue to advocate on your behalf, but I tell you my frustrations are reaching a boiling point as are yours. This company even under intense criticism continues to beat to it's own drummer and remains with the corporate line of baloney whenever a question is asked. If crews were assigned to our EOC under our direction the Town would be in much better shape on day seven of storm Alfred’s aftermath.
All I can say is keeping calling CL&P and lodge your complaints, and don’t let’em snow you with their responses. This company has to be held accountable for this mess but right now all I want for TOLLAND are crews and POWER.
Now the citizens that pay you are suddenly "complaining" ? After ten days they're complaining ?
What's this that you did, Mr Werbner ? Are you the official Soviet-styled appointed complainer, and thus no one else can ?
In an email Saturday afternoon, Tolland Town Manager Steve Werbner expressed frustration that his town's percentage of outages had actually increased from 50 to 56 percent and that the town's elderly housing complex remained without power.
"This is a priority but no time frame for repair is given," Werbner said, adding that low hanging wires were interfering with fire apparatus on more than a dozen town roads.
"I have informed our CL&P representative, who is doing a good job with what he has to work with, that his company has no credibility with me and that their performance is beyond unacceptable," Werbner said.
Mr. Werbner, a lawyer, notes that the job he is paid to do by the cold taxpayers is
Manage a full service community of 14,200 residents and a bduget of over 40 million dollars.
Then manage the emergency, and stop taking orders from the local Globalist and corporatist shills.
If they are sick with heart injuries, or cancer the way my uncle in Wethersfield had to wait for Mr Butler and his $1.6 million house to come around is that OK ? Or shall we report them to the State Police ? Is the First Amendment still in full force ?
Then there was me in 2005 here on Cape Cod when a lung infection put me, my cardiomyopathy and enlarged heart (caused earlier by Bormann group owned Merck) in the hospital for a week. That was caused by power outages and 38 degree houses long after roads were clear and younger dispatchers went postal on cold residents.
There's always a Pol Sci major who needs a job, so do resign if you're becoming too upset to execute your Soviet-style central planning office.
After all, that's all a Town Manager is today. It's an un-elected continuity of government that has no place in the United States and made unfortunate inroads since the 1970s, for low level go nowhere Political Science majors that fell into the degree, not those who excelled.
Oh, and by the way. I took many FEMA classes that the first responders bitched they didn't have time for...
