Other thoughts to ponder...

Isn't 300 sick days in a years time equal to less than 1 Officer calling in sick a day?  How many Officers are there?  50?

Does the writer know if, in fact, the sick day taken caused overtime?  Otherwise it's not costing the Town anything.

In that same regard, aren't the Police entitled to sick time in their bargaining contract?  Once again, not costing the Town any extra money.

Is the writer suggesting that they are calling in sick for fun and not actually sick?  Where is the proof?

What if Officer's are actually sick like the rest of society from time to time?  Yes, most of us don't have the luxury of calling in sick, but if they have it in their contract, who are we to criticize?

God forbid they have a prolonged illness.  With all of the people they deal with, you'd think they'd be exposed to a lot of colds and viruses.  Not to mention the stress they must be under after certain situations.

It's no surprise the Observer would print such garbage, since the Chief is suing their sorry ass.  And it's funny that the Slager hates anonymous bloggers ragging on him and his buddies.  But when someone takes a shot at someone he (and the Selectmen) are against, he prints it without a second thought.

Bob Slager Is A Hypocrite And A Liar. Lets See Police Officers Call In Sick. On A Department Of 50 Officers 300 Sicks Calls For The Year Seams Very Low To Me. It Also Does Not Take Into Account If Someone Had A Surgery Or A Long Illness And Used Several Sick Days. Lets See Slager The Real Stories Should Be About Bruce Costing The Town Millions Over His Involvement Over The Swifts Beach Fiasco. Or How About Liz Pezzoli Taking A 50 Thousand Loan From The Town And Never Paid The Money Back. Or How About Pezzoli Stealing From The Town When She Was Accidently Still Getting Her Health Insurance Years After She Left The Clerk/treasurer Position. Did She Report This To The Town? No. Joe Murphy Who Finally Caught It Confronted Her And Wanted Her To Pay The Money Back And Guess What She Blasted Him In The Paper Until He Had A Heart Attack. The Money Was Never Paid Back. How About Bruce Sauvegeau Using The Town Laptop For His Personal Use Refusing To Give It Back. And Guess What Now He Has A Problem With The Towns "it" Person. How About When Bruce Stabbed A Six Year Old With A Fork. A Police Reports On File But Slager Dont Care! The Observer Is Folding Faster Than Superman On Laundry Day. No One Will Pay 75 Cents For That Rag.

It's all distraction oneeardog.  The more you focus on the library and the Police Department, the less you think about what the Board of Selectmen are doing. 

Is it any surprise that the staff of the Observer (Slager, Pizzoli, McCloud) are all people that no one would listen to to begin with IHATESLAGER?  They stick together to stir the pot. 

Anyone with half a brain knows that they are full of crap.  People only read it to see what garbage they managed to throw together.  Oh yeah, and because it was free.

Now that they are going to charge, no one is going to give two cents.

I hear there are several reports on Sauvegeau at the Police Department, but yes Slager wouldn't bother.  Although he does like to go off on the fact that the Police don't release information on Town employees.  I would guess it's out of privacy for them.  They can claim it's just the Chief's buddies, but it's Bruce too.  So Slager shouldn't really be barking up that tree.  It just proves how stupid he is.

I read that Slager is questioning why some people get warnings for inspection and others get tickets.  Someone on the Standard Times board had a great answer.  But my thought on that is this:  what kind of world would this be if the Police stuck it to you on EVERY SINGLE little offense?

Not a World I would care to live in.

How does a so-called "journalist" make a stink about inspection stickers when he thinks his buddy the selectman getting in the way of an ambulance and swearing at a cop and driving away when pulled over is no big deal?

If your not familiar, he's the head of the Onset "Crime Watch."  Possibly the former head by now. 

Hey Bob, no stories on why OCW office was shut down?
