Peggy seems to forget that no one dragged them there screaming and kicking to sign them up for the job. The historical documents of departments around the country show an organized pattern of abuse and fraud that not only is tolerated for political gain, but is also taught by the IAFF on how to control a municipality. I wonder how Peggy could compare volunteer fire fighters with paid municipal scam artists.

Clearly Peggy has never looked at the balance sheet of Warwick's department. The outrageous benefit package, the abuses that go unchecked, and the impact to the taxpayers. From an accounting point of view, at some point you have to take the emotion out of the discussion and point to the impact to the community, the unfunded liabilities and how that will impact the next generation. If you look at the long term balance sheet projections, it is not good.

Every trade is only worth so much before the service becomes a burden.
