“”We’ve opened up new fire houses with monies at the fire department. Now with less money coming in from taxes, where’s the money coming from. I don’t know.

“It’s a bad situation. I don’t know if there is a god answer to do something to save their jobs with the economy like it is.”

“I don’t like what’s happening. We moved here in March and we hate to see firefighters leaving those jobs because the people here need protection.”

“I’m upset about it. There have to be alternate solutions. I look at the new landscaping on Gunnery which cost money and I wonder if our priorities are in the wrong place.”
