As the Draft needs assessment <br />shows, this would be best accomplished by a blend of <br />professional and volunteer firefighters with some updated <br />equipment. <br />Creating a new fire department would be a costly error. All the <br />energy, money, and effort we have expended towards that end <br />would have been better used in collaboration with the other cities <br />served by LLFD to make the necessary improvements to LLFD. <br />Further, I am dismayed by the deteriorating relationship between <br />the cities of Long Lake and Orono. We (Orono) seem to be <br />taking a firm, intractable position without any clear justification. <br />We citizens deserve better, more mature leadership than this. <br />Email not displaying correctly?
