Subject: We are paying this man ......re: Sgt Dan Taddeo big money to sit at home.!! 

Plus Toni Grann and Mauro

To: Joe Virdiramo ,PSAB Chair and to Keith Hobbs, PSAB member

Good evening Joe and Keith,

We are paying Sgt. Dan Taddeo  $144,796.88 per year as reported in  2011 for 2010 to sit at home plus paying the additional wages for his replacement while he is off on paid suspended leave. These wasted dollars could be put to much better usage...I am sure you would both agree with that statement.

His Police Service Act hearing is not scheduled until August of 2012 with continuance dates set aside for him in September of 2012, I find this most un-acceptable and feel that the PSAB should step in and do whatever it is they can do to have this issue dealt with in a much more cost and time efficient manner in order to save the tax dollars being wasted away here.

What can you do as a board.? What can our new police chief do.?

We as taxpayers do not want or need another case in point Sgt. Jim Mauro who's case took 2 years to come to a conclusion while we still await his fait apparently coming down on March the 16th, 2012.

I may as well make note of constable Toni Grann who's criminal portion of her charges are now dealt with and we await the judges ruling as well, she then must go through the same internal Police Services Act Hearing process and how long and how much is this going to cost the taxpayers of the city.???

There must be/has to be a way in which these hearings can be scheduled and dealt with in a much more expedient manner than they have been in the past citing Sgt. Jim Mauro's fiasco as a prime example of a total waste of tax dollars, so I am asking you who are both members of the police services administration board to find a way to save both time and expenses when dealing with such matters along with your fellow board members, the current chief of police and the police department union executive.

Please advise your comments and solutions to this delima/scenario.

Sincerely,

Jim Gamble
