Pageland Rescue Squad feud needs to end

I am writing this in regards to the Pageland Rescue Squad problems. “What” happened to what is known as “Team Work” among the members. I have seen and heard a lot since I moved back to Pageland in the last year. I’ve found out there is a lot of people in there that are “jealous” of one another. There are lies being told at the squad that are not true. You have people that are listening to other people and going by what is being told to them by a Council Member just to protect a fellow Mason member to stay out of trouble for not paying the squad bills. What happened to the money Mr. Sowell and Mr. Rivers you can’t come up with a reasonable answer can you? So you put the others (and you all know who you are) up to blaming an innocent person.
As you know the truth will come out in the long run because what comes around goes around. The Lord knows what you are doing. Take a good look at yourselves all of you and reconsider your lies, jealousy and let the truth come out.
Why not take a look at the volunteer Fire Dept., check their bills out and ask Eddie Rivers why the building is not used by the town for activities. They like to have their own party behind closed doors. What’s in their closets?
Members, ex-members of the Pageland Rescue Squad stop the feuding and get back into the real job of what the Rescue Squad is all about and that is “Helping others, save lives” work together, don’t work against each other, work as a “Team”. If you can’t work together as a team, just get the squad together (no one else) and discuss what needs to be done. Let “politics” stay out of it.
Remember that the life you “Save” could be one of your own.
Work together not against each other. So Mayor and all you Council Members find somewhere else to put your time into. Why not get a whole new town council, mayor, police chief, etc.?
I am not very proud to call “Pageland” home.
