Every tax is a pay cut.  Every tax cut is a pay raise. Citizens for Limited Taxation

Subject: Curious incident needs an explanation Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2006 09:17:32 -0400 On Tuesday, June 20, 2006 around 0800 while driving north on Concord Street towards Route 9, returning from the police station, I witnessed four Framingham police officers on motorcycles using their sirens and lights to navigate thru traffic (passing me on the left).  I proceeded on to stop at Stop and Shop to buy bananas and milk, and then proceeded to Dunkin Donuts on Route 30 where at 0811, I found four Framingham police motorcycles all neatly parked.  (picture included).  Not exactly the scene of chaos. The reason I went to Dunkin Donuts is that I expected to find them there. Today, Wednesday, June 21, 2006, around 0800, I went to the police station and asked the officer at the front desk (Galvani) if I could talk to the watch commander about this incident.  Galvani told me an accident had occurred at Dunkin Donuts but when I asked him to show me the log entry on it, he bluntly told me "I don't have to show you anything!  And I do not intend to bother the watch commander".  There was no log entry for such an incident. I find it offensive that police officers abuse the powers granted to them by the taxpayers.  I find it particularly offensive that four of them collaborated to abuse such powers to go to Dunkin Donuts.  I have seen these motorcycles at Dunkin (all four of them) quite a number of times. I would like a clear and concise explanation of this incident before I bring this issue up with the Board of Selectman.
