ALARM BELL No. 6: Back Up Fails Too!

C’mon Mayor Tom! Ding Dong . . . Hear the Alarms!

If crashing the fire radio system on January 9, 2010 wasn’t bad enough, imagine the dread firefighters felt when the back up system crashed the same day.

Internal Milwaukee fire department documents reveal that not only did the OpenSky radios fail on January 9, 2010, but so did the back up system.

Complete radio silence! And, complete radio silence from Mayor Tom Barrett on the OpenSky scandal! Not a peep from our fearless leader.

No main radios. No back ups. Alarm bell. Mayor Tom Barrett! Are you listening? Your firefighters are on the street WITH NO RADIOS!!!!

Here’s how Andra Williams described the meltdown in a memo the next Monday.

Williams' memo is one of 600 documents obtained by Citizens for Responsible Government, under Wisconsin’s Open Records Act.

We are releasing the 11 Alarm Bells that Mayor Barrett should have heard as a public service to reveal the incompetence at City Hall that has plagued the OpenSky radios.

Six Alarms to date!

When will Mayor Barrett respond?

Who knows?

We have five more alarms to release!

You’d think 11 alarms would wake up Mayor Tom from his blissful leadership slumber.

Mayor Tom has raised taxes every year he’s been in office. You’d think protecting cops and firefighters would be possible in a city that taxes its citizens like they’re in Norway. At least in Norway, the police and fire radios work.
