Sault Ste. Marie Fire Chief Mike Figliola was contacted last Tuesday to comment on the SaultOnline.com articles on the fire department’s cutbacks and his answer was simple.
Saultonline.com received no response.

Time to start waking up people and make your voices heard however you may feel on these issues.

In a few of Mr Shoust’s past articles there were a some of his online readers that called him biased and only reported one side of this issue. Now what do you have to say? Mr Shoust says he has reached out to this Fire Chief and we see the answer he received. I for one am embarrassed at the conduct of our local administration.
Where are our Councillors(chasing pigeons), our Mayor(who knows), our CAO? I would like to hear from these people. They don’t allow anyone to present anything to council if they don’t like it or it challenges anything they do. The firefighters don’t get to talk, the ratepayers don’t get to talk. We are the taxpayers. We need to make our voices heard, contact them and ask questions. What are we getting for services in this city? Do you really think our council cares what’s written in these comments. The next election will give them answer but will it be too late to fix our city. How can we ever ask business to come and settle in our city when we don’t have leaders that don’t listen to the people who pay them?
Better to remain silent and be thought stupid than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Awful lot of bling on his chest for someone not in the military!?
what a smile on this guy he should work for the cemetary

Pretty sad, doesn’t show up to fires and now he can’t even comment to the media. Doesn’t pay taxes to the city but uses tax money to pay his way back home to another municipality. Why does he have a company paid vehicle?
Looking forward to seeing headline: Fire Chief retires, search begins for new chief.
*sigh*
He couldn’t even be bothered to give the staple response of evasive politicians everywhere… “No comment.”
2 minutes was up before he answered so there was no point. heh.
He knows better. Too busy spending his huge pay cheques to even bother commenting.
Not surprised at all… if i had that much trouble keeping my facts straight, I’d probably stop talking too…
