Here's a little mini episode about our pre-meeting bet for 11/11, Veteran's Day.

All about the First Responder's Day meeting where the public came out in force to support Chief Jent!

Lonnie and Monica discuss Township Superintendent Dennis Limmatta's inept blunder. One month after the shooting and fire at the Church of Latter Day Saints, Limmatta announced he was placing Fire Chief Jamie Jent on administrative leave and that his termination would be on the Board Agenda at the meeting on October 28. Foolishly Limmatta assumed he could count on the Board to rubber stamp his decision to fire our Hero - ironically enough, on first Responders Day.

In this episode, recorded before the meeting, Lonnie and Monica make a bet on what the board will do when asked to vote on Liimatta's recommendation. Unfortunately, public outcry was so intense and immediate that Scott Bennett decided to remove the item from the board's agenda and made a statement that Jent had been reinstated. At the time of the meeting Jent still had not received anything in writing, and had in fact been given an ultimatum by Mr.Liimatta. "Agree to six more months of probation or resign." !!!!! Mr. Jent sent a counter proposal, which hadn't been answered by the time of the public meeting. The board didn't have to go against Limatta publicly, and Mr. Limatta was allowed to continue to attempt to bully and put down Mr. Jent privately. The story reveals a lot about what's wrong with Township leadership. Stay tuned for Part II, which covers what did happen at the Board meeting.
