Well, when Bemis Minton got unelected from office - this kind of got the power structure mad. After all it was the fire department and its union in Vidor (OCESD) that ended the reign of terror. But the OCESD board had a surprise for the fireman. You know - a new leader?Klein mean Beamon Minton. Ironically, this is the most accurate information in the entire posting. nonsensical posting.
Instead, Philip resurrects another of his tired devices, the imminent lawsuit.
This past week the OCESD hired a new fire chief. And that chief? Well he was hired over the current assistant chief - who had been with the department forever. And as well a fire fighter with the City of Beaumont and others considered for the position. Now - a lawsuit is to be filed over NEPOTISM?According to the organizational chart for the OCESD#1, there is no "assistant chief:"
The OCESD / Vidor Fire department union simply wants the best man for the job. They do not believe that the chief is as qualified or holds the qualifications necessary to do the job. So they have consulted legal counsel and will file a suit. The grounds? Who knows? We will wait till we get a copy.
Two days later, Philip retracted his original story:
The Review has learned that the OCESD Union has had no intention of filing a lawsuit as we reported earlier this week. Sources tell the Review that if any lawsuits are filed it would be by the Volunteer Department who is the fundraising and actual man power for the department that services cities like Vidor and North Orange County.There is no city of "North Orange County." Philip quotes his "source," who now claims:
"There is a meeting scheduled for Saturday. I think we will find out a bunch more and we will make our decisions then. Everything is on the table right now. We have some pretty upset members," said the source.I certainly hope the meeting is more comprehensible than Philip's gibberish. We'll revisit next week, after that purported meeting on Saturday.
