His mother passed away on Sunday...God Bless her and Jeff...

A lot of these small volunteer departments do not have the resources to raise enough cash to buy new equipment especially something like a new ladder truck which costs about one million a pop excluding tools and equipment. The state provides some money for such purchases, but that never covers the full difference between what the community and the department can raise and the cost of the truck itself.

That's not the way it works here in NJ. The volunteer fire departments have just as good or better equipment than the professional groups.

Given a choice between higher salaries and better equipment, the unions tend go for higher salaries. Then they use the excuse of old equipment to get a higher budget, most of which goes into higher salaries. Rinse, repeat.

Money given to the volunteer groups goes into training & equipment. They tend to have good equipment.

[Sequoyah101]

Murkowski is just like her dad...oily. Not to be trusted.

Shelby? the same guy that has challenged obambi’s eligibility? He’s bought.

Snowe, Specter and Collins...DEMOCRAP operatives

the rest just POS

[drubyfive]

While Bond voted against, McCaskill voted for. Strange doings in the Show Me state.

[AvOrdVet]

Thanks to the libtards!

Uh, don't forget who got this Socialist train up to full speed... yeah, that would be President Bush and his admin... Obama's just pushing the throttle a little faster.

[TMA62]

I am literally floored that one of my senators, Bayh-D voted YEA. He always votes with the dem leadership. Perhaps he is getting an earful from back home.

[rwrcpa1]

Oh, the usual suspects.

[eleni121]

WOW - no gang of 19 to find a “middle ground”?

[2CAVTrooper]

There are departments around here that still have 70’s vintage apparatus.

[rwrcpa1]

Good one.

Unfortunately, now the booklet would be “Go ahead and buy it! The government will bail you out.

[oneamericanvoice]

Agreed. I have a cold so forgive me if I’ve forgotten which senator spoke in favor of this amendment on Fox this morning. All I remember is that he was someone that I trust.

[1035rep]

LOL! I think not.

[SoldierDad]

Think you’ve got it bad? I’ve got Boxer and Feinstein as my Senators. Granted, Specter is suppose to be a conservative and he’s not (Not sure which party Casey’s from).
