its tough all around I agree but 4 years with no raises and starting salary of a FF is 40,000 maybe 42 now, either way how should that make the morale go up? it doesnt, but if you think that they wont cut staffing your sadly mistaken, and one of the council members cut truck 12 out of her own district.... so what does that say about the council? they dont even care about the people in their own districts...
I agree with what you say and it does sadden me that you risk your life every day and the pay does not reflect it plus not having a raise in even one year with inflation is bad enough. My issue is Legget is using the firefighters as a means to his own end. The fire fighters wont see a penny of this money its all a smoke screen to pay for other items. Like I said before its happened in the past at a county and state level. Now you guys are stuck in a rock in a hard place, your funding comes from him so if you stand against him he is going to win out in the end.
