It amazes me that you expect the FD to close this deficit after this city council ratified 2 contracts last year for police and municipal.

Everyone says close fire stations, less manpower blah blah blah and again what ward will be willing to cut one ? My answer is none.

I live here, sent my daughters to our public schools and here is where the problem is.

When they went class sizes were bigger, more students attended, wenhad various elementary, middle and high schools.

Since then we’ve closed schools on all levels but they school department comes back every year for millions !!!!! Yes the state doesn’t contribute as much but where are the savings???????????

So everyone’s answer is cut FF, close stations. If the schools department can’t do it what makes anyone think another department can?

I absolutely know every department including the FD can tighten the strings but to me it’s not the police, municipal or PD that is causing all the issues.

Let’s start with Mayor dumbass and the council forgoing there salaries and healthcare that’s a savings. Lead by example let’s everyone see they are serious about cuts.

Any savings is good savings correct ?

Most employees of this city have tonwork 20+ years for healthcare theses dopes work a couple of terms.

I’ve nwver agreed with this and look at the mess we are supposedly in with them being a part of it .

My irritation is brought by 36 years in the fire profession with many many hardworking well intended people doing a dangerous job and I’m sorry but I’m not going to stand by and be continuously called names and be made to look like a criminal and neither would most of you critics.

If you loved your job as much as I did you would defend your career and all it stood for andbthats what I’m choosing to do.

I can be just as sarcastic as all of you so play clean and maybe we will also.
