Why This Site Exists
The official website of the Keokuk Volunteer Emergency Corps (KVEC) at kvec.us has been shut down, leaving the community without an official channel for information. However, an alternative domain, emergencycorps.org, is still operational, though neither site is run by KVEC management. This website, hosted on the original domain, has been established to provide a platform for the community to stay informed and voice their concerns.
The Origins of This Page
This page came to life in late 2023 after Dan Tillman, the current leader of KVEC, made the controversial decision to delete the organization’s Facebook page. The deletion came at a time when the community was actively seeking answers and transparency from the leadership. Frustrated by the lack of communication, community members needed a place to gather and discuss the ongoing issues.
The Catalyst for Change
The turning point came when a concerned Keokuk citizen, who runs the Facebook group Keokuk – Voices Unheard, wrote a post that quickly gained traction within the community. The post highlighted the issues surrounding KVEC’s management and was fueled by the release of a news article that brought the organization’s internal corruption to light. You can read the Facebook post here and the news article that spurred it here.
Community Involvement
As the situation unfolds, it’s clear that the community’s involvement is more important than ever. This page aims to be a central hub for those who want to stay informed, ask questions, and demand accountability from KVEC’s leadership. It’s vital that we come together to ensure that our emergency services are managed with the integrity and transparency that our community deserves.
As a longtime resident of Keokuk, I’ve seen how important the Keokuk Volunteer Emergency Corps (KVEC) has been to our community. However, it’s become increasingly clear that the current leadership is failing to uphold the standards we’ve come to expect. The recent decision to delete the KVEC Facebook page, instead of addressing the legitimate concerns raised by the community, only underscores the need for transparency and change. It’s time for us to come together and demand accountability from those in charge. Our safety and the integrity of our emergency services depend on it.
I’ve seen these types of issues before. If we don’t act now, it’s only going to get worse.
Born and raised in Keokuk, and this isn’t the KVEC I grew up with. Change needs to happen, and it needs to happen now.
Why are we not getting straight answers? The more they try to hide, the more it looks like they have something to hide.
I’m beyond frustrated with what’s happening at KVEC. For years, I’ve supported this organization financially because I believed in the work they were doing for our community. But now, I feel like I’ve been deceived. How could things have gotten so bad under Dan Tillman and his wife, Angie? Their leadership, if you can even call it that, has been nothing short of disastrous.
I can’t believe what I’m seeing with KVEC these days. This organization used to stand for something, used to be a pillar of our community. But now? Now it’s just a mess, and it’s all thanks to the people running it. I’ve had enough of this nonsense, and I know I’m not the only one.
I am absolutely furious with the state of the Keokuk Volunteer Emergency Corps (KVEC). For years, I’ve donated my hard-earned money to this organization because I believed in the mission and trusted that my contributions were going to support a team that genuinely cared about our community. But now, after seeing what’s been happening under the so-called leadership of Dan Tillman and his wife Angie, I feel utterly betrayed.
I’ve had it with this nonsense! Enough is enough! Get them out!
I’ve known Dan for years, and honestly, I’m not surprised by any of this. He’s always been like this.
I’m really concerned about how long these problems have been festering. How could this have been allowed to go on for so long without intervention?
OMG!! I used to live here before I moved to Florida. How did it get so bad?! Why did they put that Dan and his wife in charge? We need answers NOW!!
I’ve volunteered with KVEC for years, and I’ve never seen it this bad. Morale is at an all-time low, and it’s all because of poor leadership. Something has to change, or we’re going to lose what little trust the community has left.
Yes, it definitely isn’t what it used to be.
Dan and Angie are not the easiest people to get along with. Dan is incredibly stubborn—he’s never wrong, even when he obviously is. Angie isn’t any different. They do things their own way, and the moment you disagree with them, you’re instantly labeled as their enemy. They just can’t handle the truth. I’ve also been wondering how they managed to get the money to open their tax business on Main Street after Dan was fired from Midwest Performance. It all seems a bit suspicious to me.
