I have heard rumors in reference to the Gloucester City paid Fire Department. If what I am hearing is true, new Mayor and Council should be ashamed of themselves.
Wasn\’t the tragedy of July 4, 2002, enough of a wake up call to all of you that improvement is needed?
It is called moving forward, not backward.
A City of boarded-up buildings, falling down row homes, Section 8 housing, balloon construction, and two senior complexes needs a more than timely response – to mention a few things.
You say you need to cut the budget. There are many departments where the budget can be cut, and it is not with our paid fire department.
You have certainly worn out the definition of nepotism in Gloucester City. So, start cutting the budget with jobs that have been created for someone\’s relative – but not with those who serve and protect.
Firefighters need medals, not unemployment checks.
