Local union fireman retiring in my small county of Santa Cruz, CA

Bruce A Clark Employer: CENTRAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
Pension: CalPERS, 2017 $247,120.44

Some of the Los Angeles City firemen are retiring with a pension of over $1 million per year.

Could do a lot of fire prevention with that money.

So does the Internationalist (which used to mean communist; does it still?) trade union think the current fire situation in CA is GOOD??? Jumping on Trump for criticizing the policies that produced it, requires that they approve of the results of those policies. I wonder if firefighters on the line today would rather controlled burns and sensible land development/immigration enforcement had eliminated the threat.

Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir by the American author Richard Henry Dana Jr., published in 1840...

California...

“The only thing which diminishes its beauty is, that the hills have no large trees upon them, they having been all burnt by a great fire which swept them off about a dozen years before, and they had not yet grown up again. The fire was described to me by an inhabitant, as having been a very terrible and magnificent sight.

The air of the whole valley was so heated that the people were obliged to leave the town and take up their quarters for several days upon the beach.”

Wait, if the Victims of Hurricane Michael are represented by climate deniers, can't the same be said of California? If all the true believers in LaLa Land could not stop fires from starting, then why believe in climate change?

You beat me to it. ....I was about to unload a boatload of crap on that union BS, but you had already covered most of my intended comments.

I’m getting riled up that every time a Pubbie says something that is true, the leftists and their unions have to twist what is said into something that’s an affront to them.

The 1988 Yellowstone park fire was very big because of the policy of not allowing any fires. The brush and forest got so big it could not be put out. It took the winter to finally put it out. Now they let it burn naturally when possible.

Simple question, If it were possible would the union give up all overtime if there were no more wildfires?

The International Association of Firefighters...

Is this the same union that helped defeat the repeal of the gas tax?

Screw those political a-holes.
