Our volunteer fire departments ordtak

en Our volunteer fire departments know their needs better than Washington, D.C. They need more flexibility on spending grant money from FEMA and Homeland Security.

en I am pleased that seven fire departments in our district applied for and will receive funds from the Homeland Security grant program.

en The percentage is reduced each year, until after five years the fire department is able to continue on with paid staffing with it's own funding. At a time when volunteer fire departments across the nation are struggling to obtain new volunteers, this cut really hurts. It means fire departments will have to look to the public for even more support.

en I think the FEMA budget should be dramatically increased. And I say that as a conservative who's not reflexively for more government spending. The department has always tried to do homeland security on the cheap.

en We are getting quite a bit out of the public schools. And a number of municipalities dedicate the money (they earn) to their volunteer fire departments.

en As long as FEMA is under DHS, problems are likely to continue. I'm told that at least three state emergency officials have turned down the job of FEMA Director because it is under the Department of Homeland Security. Everyone says FEMA needs a top-quality director, but how do we get one when the top candidates won't take the job?

en I am concerned that FEMA is not ready and we'll see much of what we saw during Katrina, ... I've been trying to get information from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security on what they are doing, and I've heard little to nothing.

en There is nothing Federal about local volunteer fire departments.

en This budget also is committed to fiscal discipline. It holds government spending below the level of inflation. In the non-security, non-homeland security area it reduces actual spending. And it's consistent with the president's commitment to cut the deficit in half by the time he leaves office.

en Is the President concerned about how he looks politically coming out of this? Heck yes! The president has some serious exposure here. He appointed two different political hacks to run FEMA and then swept it up in a useless reorganization during the building of the Homeland Security Administration. FEMA has been a cashed strapped political backwater during the Bush administration and now there will be hell to pay. If I were Michael D. Brown, director of FEMA I would be brushing up my resume.
