The mapping program, which will pinpoint 911 calls originating from cellular phones onto a dispatcher's computer, is in the final stages of completion, said Bill Walker, Erie County Emergency Management director.

 Local resident,

Sorry you didn't get my sarcasm. No one in this county is held responsible. County commissioners, County administrator, county department heads or employees. 

It's time to take back control of our local governments.

 I love how the full story in the Register quotes Monaghan "Im glad they are performing at the levels now that is expected of them as county employees"....REALLY???  my question is when we can expect the  comissioners to do the same......

Anybody know what happened with the second screens that the County had to have.  Who paid for them?  Did the County end up buying them?

I am still not holding my breath for wireless 911, I say one more problem and there should be a formal investigation into this from its design to its end from an outside source at the state level; then hold the responsible party accountable. On second thought it should happen anyway. A simple question for the Commissioners: Who is responsible for this mess?? (Yes I know Verizon takes some blame, but that is only part of the story)

How can anyone in Erie County trust the Commisioners, Emergency Management, or any person associated with this project on another project of importance???  Will the next project take years and have problem after problem, costing more money than it was planned for to complete??
