How uninformed and gullible you are. Lets see the rank and file from ff(firefighter) to BC (Battalion Chief) were in the audience upset about these cuts and you believed Darlene/Grigsbys' puppet Hoback. Funny the rank and file disagree with your vote and Admin says nothing to dissuade you. Don't come pandering for L1132 support again.
