I am a volunteer fire fighter for a department in Missouri. Two of our board of directors and chief are not representing the department in a way that is best for the community and hasn't for many years, we have money in the bank worth of tax payers money and possibly more that should be used to help better the department so that we can better support our community. The tax payers are suffering because of our board of directors and Chief... Myself and another firefighter was thinking about doing was getting a petition together to have the board and our chief removed from there positions and have the community vote for a new board of directors. They are trying to run the department like they want and are not taking into the fact that they are hurting our community. They question us and protest us anytime we ask for a new piece of equipment that they know will help others but just cant get past spending the money that is given to us for that reason. There is so much more and way too much for me to sit here and type. My question is, is this petition legal. Also the fire chief is voted in by the board so can we have him removed with using the petition? The biggest thing that gets us is that the community doesn't know how bad the department is ran by the people they elect, they don't know the real truth.
