Mike Temo Resigns

[Ball Breaker]

Mike Temo was originally Steve Levy's replacement for Dave Fischler as Commissioner of FRES. For those who don't know the process which included Mr. Levy, all candidates for the position of Commissioner must go through an interview process by the FRES Commission and 3 names then be given to the County Exec to chose from. Mr. Levy in his infinite wisdom tried to back door the system and placed Mike as the Deputy Commissioner due to the fact he received so much flack from the Fire and EMS services.

Then in another attempt for a power play,Mr. Levy told Mike it was time, after only 6 weeks in the position as Deputy, to push Dave out and move into the Commissioners spot.

Mike proved to an upstanding proponent to the Volunteer service and told Mr. Levy NO - It was not enough time to grasp all the facets that the Commissioners position entailed. When Mr. Levy still tried to push the issue and have Mike move into something he was not ready for, Mike resigned.

My hat is off to Mike for standing up to the Levy Political machine.

Mike is back at Lakeland as the District Manager and I believe he is much better off.

Good Luck Mike and Thanks!

[Ball Breaker II]

Fischler needs to go. If that means putting in Bozo th Clown then I am on board. He has failed the County of Suffolk, and all the volunteers.

Mike Timo looked like an OK choice, but if he couldn't handle a little heat, then maybe it was better that he went.

Regardless there are plenty of good people in this county that can replace the current FRES Commissioner. He doesn't leave very big shoes behind to fill.

At a time and place in history where so many are counting on so few to protect and serve them Dave Fischler has no business being the FRES Commissioner for 1.4 million people.

Steve Levy, if you are reading this, get of your a-s and get someone for this job.

To Ball Breaker,

If you going to state something make sure it is correct.
Read the county law, Mr. levy does not have to pick one of the names that the FRES Commission gives him. YOU ARE WRONG. Also Mr. levy did not back door the FRES Commision, he has the right and the power to appoint anyone he wants, not the person that the "HAS BEENS "tells him. You must be one of those guys who did not get the guy you wanted. One of the names on that 3 person list was Don C. (Mr. Sayville) the same guy who was going to all of the meetings telling everyone that we must keep Dave. But at the same time he was having meetings with Mr. Levy asking for the job. Mike did not leave that job for any of the things you said, ask him call him at Lakeland. Dave took that job 10 years ago knowing that someday he would have to move on. Right now he is looking for a job in Florida, I hope he gets it, but it is time for him to move on. When are you and the members of the FRES Commission going stop talking for me. What has this commission done for the FF of Suffolk County, except trying to act like they run things. They are not doing the job, I hope Mr. levy finds someone that they do not want, so the guy will change things and he does not have to thank the FRES Commission for getting him the job. They can always call Don C. he will do anything to get the job, even push his big buddy Dave out of the way. But he will come to all the meetings to tell Dave to his face how he is going to help him stay in office, he is sending plants to Mr. Levy's office trying to get that job. The next time you walk onto the 12 floor you will see the plant that Don and Mrs. Don sent.I hope Levy appoints the next guy soon and shows you and the rest of the FRES boys he runs this county. GOOD-BY DAVE. This guys on the FRES can not even get the 800 radio's in place the cops did, why not the fire service.

[Ball Breaker]

It is very obvious that Fischler will be going sooner or later and Levy will be the one to do it - no one said he didn't have the right to do so - just do it the right way and do what is best for the volunteers that have to protect the 1.4 million residents.

As far as Levy is concerned he is not looking to appoint a new person for the right reasons just one of the people that supported him. Dave has made many an enemy in the 10 plus years, but so has everyone else that sat in that seat.

As for me not getting the one I wanted in, that’s not even an issue - there are many good prospects for the job but no one with the right credentials that would take it for the money Levy wants to pay!

And as for Don C. everyone knows the program even Fischler and in my opinion Levy would never put him in because I don't think he trusts him either!

Lastly, from what I understand Mike put it in writing to Levy that the job is much bigger than anyone really knows, so unless any of us has walked in Mike's or the Commissioner shoes we have no idea what it really entails.

[righton]

Your right Ball Breaker, but you made the statement the levy "back doored" the FRES commission. The FRES commision tried to back door all of us. I was at the FDIC when the names were given to Levy. They are as follows: Dave, Don, Tom and Pete. The FRES boys knew that levy would not give the job to Dave, both Pete and Tom told everyone they did not want the job. So who was left "DON", tell me that was not a back door. WE knew the same night the letter was written and so did Don, because the lady at the FRES meeting called him.

Dave got into the political game by taking this job.
He has to know what happens when his man is gone. I hope Levy picks someone that will do a good job for us.
But "he as to pick the guy" not the "good ole boy club".

Levy will do what he feels is right (I hope) it is time for a change and that was not coming with the guy FRES wants. Maybe he should go back to the guys who said no to the job the 1st time and give them the same money Dave makes ($120,000). There are a lot of good guys out there and they do not have to be one of the FRES boys.

[Ball Breaker]

Only 14 people submitted resumes to FRES interview were conducted and each applicant was given the same set of questions to answer. Each applicant was scored on a 1-5 rating for each area of concern that the questions focus on, on the final night of interview the scores were tallied. As far as the lady from FRES calling anyone - she wasn't there the night of the final interviews.

Both Peter and Tom completed the interview process, stating they wanted the job including an interview meeting with Levy. For Pete (who rated number 1) I believe it was a matter of money and Tom said it was a matter of not being able to carry over his time and Benefits. Daves name was submitted because his resume far out weighed all 14 candidates.

Pete, Tom and Don interviewed well, answered the questions with the right answers on issues of how the transition would take place, methods to continue to prepare the county in case of a terrorist attack, budgetary and personnel issues, etc. Some of the other gentlemen answered some of the questions well and were very far off base on others.

The 1,2,3 candidates were a surprise in some cases to the committee that conducted the interviews.

As for Levy's "back door" it was to the Fire Service not the FRES Commission. He originally told the Presidents of the Joint Councils to come up with a name in 3 days; his mind was made up long before the interview process even began. Mostly likely before he was even sworn in, just that he never got to it sooner, was what he said.

Steve is a career politician and thinks he can do to the Fire Service what he did to the Police and just jam someone down our throats without our input. The FRES Commission process goes back to when Al Jardin replaced Herb Davis and when Dave replaced Al, its nothing new that was just created.

Politics will be politics no matter what we all do and I agree Dave knew the day would come when he would be replaced after Levy won the election. What everyone forgets is it took Gaffney almost 2 1/2 years to replace Al Jardin who was Halpins choice.

The FRES Commission is not the "Good Ole Boy" club that you may think. Maybe it was in the past, but no longer. There is a bunch of younger open-minded members that represent all the various organizations. If someone thinks that their voice isn't being heard, then its because they don't bother to go to their individual associations and speak their minds.

[righton]

I know what was done. Maybe the lady was not there on the final night, but she called Don the next day and told him the results. That was before the letter was even given to Levy. Don was telling everyone he had the job that day. How did he know that. I think you are wrong about who was 1st on the list. Dave was #1, Don #2, Pete #3 and Tom #4. I was here for the Jardin turnover to Dave. The county law states that the FRES commission get three name to the C.E. it does not state he has to take any one of them. What did Levy do to the PD, put someone it who he thinks is best fro the job.

As far as the FRES guys not being good ole boys, the way they handled this is poor. You tell me that they are new guys. Please tell me how the ex-chairman (Mr. E) can stand up at a meeting and tell everyone he is going to hit the guy from Remsco, he is going to ruin Levy's time in office. The same person making statements about people on the same commission that is not true.
Or the new chairman that come from the EMS side that the Commissioner of FRES has no control over that side of the service, but he can pick my commissionor.
Do you get to pick your boss in work, most of us do not. Levy will pick the guy he wants, and we all will have to work with him. He does not need to work with you, and he will be here for the next 3 years, so get over it. Levy is not going to give in to the FRES guys, he showed you that with Mike, he is not going to do it now. I hope he does not do it now. Nothing has changed with the good ole boys, it is time for them to go.

I can not wait for the new guys name to come out and see all of those jerks running around telling him not to come to my meeting, do not come to my fires. Changed yea right
can

[Laughable]

FRES Commission theres a group we need making decision for all of us. Have you seen any of these guys. They are better equiped to make reviews for Zaggots then pick a Fire Commissioner.

There last FRES Chairman, wasnt he a custodian in a school on the North Fork. Sounds qualified to make important decisions for 13,000 volunteers.

People should go to these meetings and see the good old boy club in action. Most of these people couldn't lead a dog on a chain.

The County Exec should pick who he feels comfortable with. It would be great if everyone like that person, but be better if the guy could do the job.

[Ball Breaker]

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and that’s why this venue is a good tool to get things across.

I still stand by the contention that Mike Temo did a good thing for the Fire Service by standing up to Levy and saying NO - its not time! And that’s what I most wanted to get across when I started to write this.

I also agree that Levy will do what he wants when he wants to do it no matter what anyone says or does - its his nature to be that way - but Levy don't pay my salary or any of the Volunteers for that matter and the Fire and EMS Service has the right to let him know if they don't agree with anything he does.

LEVY WORKS FOR US - we the taxpayers pay his salary and yes he is human - so when he screws up he should be told so - just as I assume your boss would do to you!

As for those on the Commission if anyone doesn't like the membership and make-up of the FRES Commission, show up at the organizations that the reps come from and get involved. Maybe even join a committee and do something other then cry the blues. It's easy to talk trash about people that are at least trying to make a difference when you’re sitting on your butt behind a computer screen.

[Twisted]

From where I sit it looks like the CE is not putting in people he thinks can do the job but people that worked on and donated to his campaign.

To Ball Breaker,

I am a member of the FRES committee. To prove that I was there the night you told everyone that Don had a broken heart because he did not get the job. Am I right Mr. Egan ? Levy is doing the same thing every C.E. did before him, put some one in the job that he can work with and trust. Dave gave money to the other guy running for C.E. when Levy won. Does that mean that Dave is wrong for the job. Dave worked and helped and gave money to the last C.E. is that wrong. Mike did not give up the job for the reasons you are saying and you know that. Mike told a lot of people at his Fire Dept. why he did what he did, I ask them. And it is not what you are saying. What are you going to do when Levy puts in the man he wants. Mr Eagan you do not know what you are talking about.

And the part you wrote about thanking Mike for doing the right thing, this is the same Mike you told everyone that you would get. So stop it.

And to Twisted, you have no idea what you are talking about. Every FRES Commisionor has help put the CE in office and has gone to dinners to help with the money. So tell me that none of them should have had the job.
It's part of the job.

So to the rest of my fellow members let's see what you do when Mr. Levy puts in the next guy and it's not Dave or Don. Are you going to tell him that you will get him or are we going to act like men.

[Ball Breaker]

You are talking to me like I am Jay - but guess again I'm not and if you have a beef with him I suggest you take it to him directly.

And I agree that Levy and every other CE has done what they want and every candidate that was a contender for the postion has done whatever it may have taken to get the Job. As for attending dinners to get a job and it being done that way for ever - that don't make it right! The best qualified person for the job should be the one to get it especially one of the nature we are discussing.

As for Mike leaving and the circumstance behind him leaving, you should check your facts - it is my understanding that he even stated his reasons in his resignation letter to the CE and it was reported that way at East Hampton Chiefs last night also.

[SC Chiefs Prez]

Its a little past midnight and I was just awoke from a dead sleep to here I was being trashed on this thread. So I dragged my ass out of bed to see what was being said and by whom.
First, lets get the record straight I haven't been on this site in months let alone have the time to be posting on it.
Next you say you were at the FRES meeting when I passed the Heart joke about Don, yes I said it and also told him about it the next time I saw him. If you know me there?s one thing about me I do have the balls to say what?s on my mind and tell it to a person face to face, whether I'm right with my comments or way off base.
The night you speak about there was only 5 person there when I said it, so it should be easy to figure out who you are, the difference is I will talk to you face to face when we see each other and not BS over the internet. (The 5 were for the record Dave, Mike Temo, the Vice Chair, A party from Communication and a Democratic Postman.)
While reading all the posts I see truths and I see misconceptions, but I will get in touch with Mike Temo tomorrow and ask him his reasons directly. If he so chooses to answer, because that is his own business, maybe he will come on here and state them and maybe not because I understand that Steve is not happy with why and the fact it was written in his resignation letter although that is just hear say at this point.
In the future if someone what?s to find out my feelings on an issue or to find out if I did indeed state a comment ask me directly, I have no problem telling the truth.
Also if your going to quote me, please get it right, this is not the first time someone from Steve's camp put a spin on my words incorrectly. I never said I would get Mike if he became Commissioner, what I did say to Mr. Levy was " If you put a person into a that position that the Fire Service does not know, you will wind up making the job more difficult for him" And that my friend was said to Steve Levy's in his office on the 12th floor in front of all the Joint Council presidents. And I stand by that statement, not only if it was Mike but anyone else that has not been around to all the entities and Townships of the Fire Service to see what each areas needs my be.
Lastly, Mr. Egan was my father and he is buried in Pinelawn, you can call me Jay everyone else does, even Steve, but I'm sure he has a few choice words before and after it.

Now I can go back to bed - Good night all!

I understand his reason is that as the deputy he was "learning" the job. It was time for Fischler to leave and for Timo to take over and he was not yet ready. Presuming this is correct perhaps this is for the best, if he isn't ready then we need someone who is.

EXTREME Q (http://www.vaporshop.com/extreme-q-vaporizer.html)

[exCaptian]

So Jay..you're basically saying Dave should keep his job right?

[SC Chiefs Prez]

As of now yes, his resume is the best that has been presented to date. A few people have posted that anyone could do his job; they very well may be able to, but not overnight. In fact the man that was suppose to take it over said it was more involved then they all originally anticipated.

I know money is an issue for the County Exec and he stated he wants to cut costs. That may be why we only received 14 resumes for the position. If there are others out there, then they went directly to Steve Levy on the 12th floor and not to the Search Committee.

You would have to be a fool to think that Dave is here for good. He is walking around with a big target on his back and it?s just a matter of time. But with all that is going on in the world today, the person who gets the job will not only have to be knowledgeable, but also have the necessary contacts.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the County Exec will ask us again for input, even though that would be the best way to transition someone in. I think all we can now do is wait and see what or when it happens.

I agree Jay..During levys campaign he said over and over that he would hore Department heads for their qualifications not because of party favors. Well he seems to have forgotten that by giving any indication that Dave should be replaced. I go to alot of the Suffolk County vollies meetings and Fischler gives good comprehensive reports as you know..and he seems to me to be the best qualified right now..If there is one shortfall to the state of FRES is the the lack of volunteers in FDs throughout the county.. FRES and the Local Fire departments has done what they can..but its the County that has dropped the ball and let the recruitment and retention program go by the wayside..
Fischler has held up his end of the deal and should have the option, if he wishes, to continue.

[Excaptain]

Its funny how a slip of the keys can make a difference..I didntm ean to type he would "hore the department heads" I meant HIRE..LOL

[suprised555]

The reason Fischler has the "X" on his back is because of his politics. He was asked, prior to the last election, to stay out of the election. This came from Levy's "camp". He was not asked to specifically support Levy but he was asked not to throw his support against Levy. Fischler being Fischler played politics and verbally went against Levy. As the saying goes, he bet the wrong horse. Now that comes back to him as if he had maintained his impartiality he would be here to stay.

JUGALLETTE (http://juggalos.org/)

[Member SCFC]

As someone who has been involved in the Fire Service for over 40 years I would like to express my opinion on this subject. I am not asking anyone to agree with me, but just take the time to read what I am saying and think about it.

Looking at some of the postings on this subject, I wish to say I do not care what a person does on his other job, or what title he has at that job that pays his bills.
When he speaks as a head of an organization in the Fire Service of Suffolk County, we have to show him some respect. We may not agree with him, but until the next election he speaks for us who belong, (I hope he remembers that also) . And by no means am I saying Jay is doing anything wrong. I thank him and guys like him for stepping up to fill that job. This "THING" has gone on too long.

As we all know Dave's time as commissioner is limited, I am sure he knows that too. I am not glad to see him go, nor am I happy to see him stay. This is what happens in goverment. Dave has had more then 10 years in this job, plus he has worked at Yaphank for more then 33 years. Sure he has more more experience then anyone else the CE is looking at. How could anyone expect someone to walk into this job with all of the experience Dave has. At one time Dave did not have the "on the job" experience he has today. Sometimes I think change is good when done right.

The bottom line we the Fire Service of Suffolk County need to have someone in place soon to replace Dave.
I think we have expressed our wishers on what we would like to see done. We have given our names to the CE on the people "WE" think would be best for the job. By putting in Mike 2 months ago, I think he showed us he is going to fill the position with someone he wants and trust. This is not has bad as we all think or have made it out to be. He still put someone in there who was from the Fire Service of Suffolk County. Maybe not the guy we wanted, someone who attends all the meetings and served on all of the committees, but so what. That is not the job. Just a note I had the chance to speak to Mike on 2 occasions and he did not picture me as someone who would quit because the job was too much. I think there is more to that story. But who knows.

In closing I wish say that we the leaders and ex-leaders of the of the Fire Service in Suffolk County should at this point send a letter to, or request a meeting with Mr. Levy asking him to fill this job. Forget about telling him "who", but trust him to give it to someone he feels will do the best for all of us. Right now we have no other option. I do not care if the guy helped him get elected, gave money to help or like "one of our own" sent him a plant. What I care about is the guy is willing to listen and work with us. And he is from Suffolk County Fire Service. Everything else will fall into place. Dave has done a good job, but he will be leaving. I think he is looking for a job now. I do not blame him, but what happens if he finds one and leaves before someone is in this job. Everyone has said the new guy must learn from Dave. Well everyday we waste time fighting on who is getting the job is one day lost. If you do not like Levy then try to vote him out in 3 years, but in the mean time we have to work with what we have. The funny thing is that if Levy does not get back in 3 years from now, the guy taking the job now will be replaced.

So Jay, please get with the other groups and get to Levy FILL THIS JOB. Trust the new guy until he proves he can not be trusted. Let's work with him to make him just as good as Dave. But please do not tell me this is why we must keep Dave, thats over. If not we all loose.

Thank-you for your time.

[pissor]

You must mean the EMS service that 10% of the time also responds to fire calls......

[SC Chiefs Prez]

I agree with what you say and I have called Levy's office a few times in the past few weeks trying to set up the quarterly Joint Council meeting with Steve (which should normally be the 1st week in September).

I know Steve has was busy with the funeral for the PD officer that died, he was also a personal friend of his and then the resignation issue can into play. I am going to try again this week before I leave for the IAFC in New Orleans.

As for Dave having to be replaced, nobody has to move on but at this point it does seem like politics will prevail.

Remeber in the last two Commissioner replacements we were lucky enough to get someone who had ties to the Commissioner offices in one way or another. When Al replaced Herb Davis if my memory serves me right I believe he came from the academy, but was also involved in many of the organizations, so he really did have a grasp of what was going on in the County. Then again when Al stepped down, Dave came from the Fire Marshall's side of the house and the tranistion was readily smooth.

So with that kept in mind, when Dave is replaced we just need to have it done in a fashion that works well for all and protects all the Taxpayers and Volunteers!

Jay, I know what you are saying. But please read my posting again. We are not going to get the same thing we had when the other 2 left. What I am saying we have to drop this "our guy" or "no way" thinking.
Suffolk County will go on no matter who gets the job, because of SCFC and other organizations. We need to start thinking about how we can show this new guy what we need. And give him the chance and respect to do the job. I'm not pushing for Dave, but the bottom line is he knew when he took the job someday he would be out. If the other guy won the election then Dave would be in and also Fred.

Please just stop pushing the "our guy" and lets start to get the best working partnership we can get. We will need this person. But he has to come from the Suffolk County Fire Service.

Thanks for listening.

[EXSCFC]

I can not agree more with you. It's about time we move on. And you are right, Dave could find a job and be gone.
I hope he does. Let's forget about what happen with Al, Herb and Dave. Thats not going to happen now. What we should be doing is planning on how we are going to get to work with the new guy. I could care less of he mowed Levy's lawn, as long as he is willing to learn the job, and do the right thing for the fire service and EMS
Levy has always been good to the fire service, why would we think he would hurt us now. But he needs his own man. So put aside all of the bulls--t and lets starting in the right direction. Jay do not wait until the 1st week in September, this is too important and remember everyday we delay is one more less day Dave can show this person. I do not think Dave will be in office long once this person is in place. I hope we get to the end of the year. But the longer we stall the shorter it will be.
Jay speak to who you have to, then call or write the man and tell him to put someone in this place. Ask him to make sure the person has a fire service backround, maybe an ex-chief of a Suffolk County F.D., and willing to work hard.

[SC Chiefs Prez]

First of all I hate these Message Boards because of the back and forth BS. Now with that said.

I really don't have a theirs or ours mentality and I wish this issue could be solved sooner then later, it sure would make my life easier.

Bringing up the past commissioners was written only to establish that the replacements had some knowledge of what was going on with the fire service as a complete picture in this County and not just pieces of it.

Also, please remember when prior Commissioners were replaced, this world was not as screwed up as it is now.

Now lets move on, its my opinion that even though everyone who works in the Commissioners office has some loyalty to him, however it is still the Office of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services and I believe that the bottom line is that all of those individuals who work there will assist in making it work, no matter who the replacement is and if Dave is still there when it happens, for whatever time frame, it will just make the transition that much easier.

The first week in September was only the next scheduled meeting of the Joint Councils with Steve, but that is not etched in stone. I have my calls into him to get this issue, as well as some others resolved, but have received no replies to date.

As soon as he calls me back, I will set up the meeting with all the Council Presidents and the County Exec, just as we have done in the past.

As all this crap with Levy and FRES continues, the county runs without enough Fire Marshals to do all the work required of them. During a time of increased alert, Levy has opted to play games and keep monies and jobs from FRES because Dave is still there. This is certainly showing how petty Levy is and how much he really cares about the safety of the people of Suffolk. If Dave wants to go, let him go with our thanks. On the other hand, Levy should never have been elected in the first palce.

SCFF - I can't agree with you more! While all this stuff with Levy and the FRES Commissioner goes on the Fire Marshalls Office is down on manpower between retirements, illness and John Cohen passing away, I don't think anybody has been replaced. Plus with the rumor of Pete wanting to retire that will leave the upper ranks short too (no pun intended Pete). Levy needs to stop grandstanding and work to get that department up to speed so when he makes a commissioner change it can be smooth. Those guys are the ones who will most likely be training the replacement at this pace.

Thanks for the support Twisted. I think we all know how the political machine works and how jobs get filled. The concern I have is that Levy is worried more about getting things his way and as a result is missing the big picture. He needs to start looking at his actions from the outside and see how idiotic he is being. I guess he turned toward FRES because he pushed the cops too far and now they have a few "things" on him. He just wants to find someone to bully. What were people thinking when they voted for him? I'll say it again, if Dave wants to leave we should wish him all the best, but like him or not, he is still an asset to the county. Steve Levy should be worried more about strengthening the fire service in the county and not dividing it.

First of all I assume you are talking about me.

I will agree that I do not speak for everyone in this County, but I do speak for myself when I post.

Also, unlike the County Exec I do not lie and I do tell it like it is, so I guess you do not know me as well as you think!

If you read my post before they had it removed - I wished Joe all the luck in the world and hoped that he would be a asset to the Fire and EMS Service of this County.

The problem we have here is not with Joe, but with Mr Levy not keeping his part of a Gentleman's agreement, then again I guess we weren't actually dealing with a Getleman when we were dealt with Steve.

Mine name is always added when I post, if you feel the need to bash me on this post, in the future please have the brass to do the same! Also, If you wish to discuss this I'm sure you know how to contact me.

I don't work for the County, nor do I have any desire to work for the County, so unlike others I do not have to butter up any of the politicians in this County to keep obtain or get promoted.

I ran for the Board of the County Chiefs to assure that everyone gets an even shake, I have stayed in the ranks because the members know I put the interest of the Fire and EMS service first.

As far as my term, it seems like your stuck with me for another year, unless you feel you can do a better job, show up at Novembers meeting in Ridge and state your case. Then again if you were active in any of the organizations you would have known when my term was up.

As I posted on the other board, your looking to start a war for all the wrong reasons, maybe its you who has some issues!

That was an incident that did not involve me and there are other posting boards that discuss that. What happened there is none of my concern and should be none of yours either!

The new commish off to a good start.. I think MPQ lost his car!

[Guest 101]

MPQ did lose his car...and it is about damn time...the best part is, the car sits in the parking lot of FRES...and does nothing...just like MPQ has done under the previous admin. Those days of using discipline and threats and screwing the ESD's are OVER...because the simple fact is...MPQ is a dispatcher. So he answers to a different type of man now. But he definitely got his tail cut off here and what is left of it, is tucked between his legs...

Mike Temo was originally Steve Levy's replacement for Dave Fischler as Commissioner of FRES. For those who don't know the process which included Mr. Levy, all candidates for the position of Commissioner must go through an interview process by the FRES Commission and 3 names then be given to the County Exec to chose from. Mr. Levy in his infinite wisdom tried to back door the system and placed Mike as the Deputy Commissioner due to the fact he received so much flack from the Fire and EMS services.

Then in another attempt for a power play,Mr. Levy told Mike it was time, after only 6 weeks in the position as Deputy, to push Dave out and move into the Commissioners spot.

Mike proved to an upstanding proponent to the Volunteer service and told Mr. Levy NO - It was not enough time to grasp all the facets that the Commissioners position entailed. When Mr. Levy still tried to push the issue and have Mike move into something he was not ready for, Mike resigned.

My hat is off to Mike for standing up to the Levy Political machine.

Mike is back at Lakeland as the District Manager and I believe he is much better off.

Good Luck Mike and Thanks!

[hey mike]
