“ABOLISH all public service employee unions, except those organized for First Responders!!! “
EXCEPT FIRST RESPONDERS? They should be the first to go. Our Fire District is a disgrace. Fire Board is “packed” with firefighters who live in the district but work outside it. They’ve given their buddies so much money it’s a travesty. A firefighter now makes more than $100,000 per year base salary, and takes home at least another $100,000 in “overtime.” District policy limits the hiring of new personnel just so those already on the pad can bilk the district with their outrageous OT scam. And then theres all the high-end food they eat on the taxpayers (they only shop in the most expensive market in town). So on they go “eating until they are sleepy, then sleeping until they are hungry.” Cops are is second place, and their union needs to go as well.
