After more than a year, promises by a Charlotte, N.C. company to provide free emergency vehicles to two Valley communities in exchange for the right to post advertisements on the vehicles have come to nothing. But that hasn't stopped Government Acquisitions Inc. from promoting its contracts with Ansonia and Beacon Falls on its Web site. Ansonia signed up with Government Acquisitions last March to receive one vehicle a year: an ambulance, fire truck or a police cruiser. In exchange, Government Acquisitions would sell advertising space on the vehicles' exteriors to local businesses.
To date, however, city officials say they have heard nothing from the company. "I'm pretty disappointed. We followed all their procedures and filled out the forms and we didn't get anything," Mayor Jim Della Volpe told the Connecticut Post. Police officials in Beacon Falls said they haven't heard anything either since they signed up with the company last year. As of January 5, no complaints about the company had been filed with North Carolina's Better Business Bureau or the Consumer Protection Agency.
