I have been hearing about this all over town, and not just from the firefighters. This is why you need to handle the fire department business strictly, because this kind of disturbance doesn't look good. |
Sorry, I don't do resolutions. That's for the simple fact that, whatever I say I'm going to do, I try to do it. |
The firefighters were very wound up. |
They agreed to return the nomination sheet to me by the first of next week, and we'll put together a ballot for them, just like a regular election. |
They all seemed pretty happy. |
We found that one firefighter was considered inactive because he doesn't come to all the meetings, but he still fights fires. He would still be eligible to vote. To my mind, if you're risking your life to fight our fires, you should get to vote. |
