T.E.M.S. 990

It took quite a bit of time but we did finally locate the 990 for Thurman EMS for 2011. Please note that on the final page of this document is a list of the Board Members for TEMS, clearly this would cause a conflict of interest for soon to be Town Board Members, Eddy and Smith.

We will continue to search for their 990 for 2012.

  2. Yes, the members who are listed as "Director" sit on the Board of Directors for T.E.M.S.

  3. We have received a post which is inappropriate for this site. It contained the following words"muckraker of journalism and childish" and was generally termed as a personal attack without the merit of a claim for an argument or debate backed by evidence. We would like to see this person engage in a debate about T.E.M.S. in an appropriate, rational manner. Hopefully with the other people who view this site. We encourage lively debate. We do not allow such derogatory language. Everyone must speak civilly on this site.

    1. I think you should keep the uninformed rants on the site so ppl can see the mentality of the individuals supporting Hakell!!! Just a thought.

  4. I for one have learned a lot from this blog. If someone wants to make an honest and informed decision, then you have to have all the facts. How can anyone do that without documentation. From what I have seen and read, how can ANY organization whether in Thurman or any town hope to gain the respect of the community, if you have people criticizing anything they don't like. Calling someone names and attacking someone does nothing to help the cause. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it doesn't mean everyone has to agree with it, but they are entitled to it, but doing so respectfully is how you gain the respect and trust of others. So instead of calling someone names, I would be more interested in learning more about the T.E.M.S.. What changes have been made to improve the organization? The people involved and why they are involved. Instead of fighting and calling names, prove to others why TEMS is WORTH fighting for instead of fighting against.

  6. It has been stated here that if Haskell is elected, he can not hold office and it will be up to the board to appoint a supervisor. The voters will not have a say. According to this 990 tax form, 2 of the 4 board members making this choice have close ties with the EMS, Eddy, his mother being on the board of directors and Smith, his wife the EMS secretary.

    1. That would indeed be a "Conflict of Interest".

  7. I spoke with Dan Smith after reading the propaganda letter I received from the three candidates and he was not aware of Joyce Eddy being on the Board of Directors.. :/ Thus, two individuals promising to renegotiate with the EMS will have to recuse themselves from any and all votes pertaining to the squad!! FALSE PROMISES ALREADY!!
