Councilors Rossi, Rose and Cunha, not being satisfied with the current city manager Lemont, is it because he is not under their past spell of sphere of influence like the last city manager was? Is is because Lemont wants to actually work for the people of this city and do things the honest way? Is it because he will not fire an honest police chief or perhaps it was the discovery of $2 million in past water/sewer bills owed to the city for several years, that the last city manager ignored? Makes you wonder who's names were on that list that owed for years?

To the good men and women on the police department who serve our city every day, my deepest sympathy to all of you for having men on the force who do not deserve to be in uniform and are a disgrace to this city. It's those dishonest ones who need to retire or resign.
