Old firehouse number one. That's the one built and paid for by Doc Andrew, owner of Andrew corporation. It didn't cost OP taxpayers a dime. Or the equipment. Ben, tell us about firehouse number 7 (seven)! You know, the one Maher,Anastos, and Krizik conspired together to build with out taxpayer approval. They already bought the equipment it's lettered with No.7 on it. Misuse and appropriation of taxpayer funds. Fraud and corruption. A Bond, spent on other than the Bond issue language that was voted on. Deception has been this Fire Districts best friend. Many need to be fired.
