I think we can all settle down and have a constructive conversation. I didn't realize how bad the situation is in terms of the city not having the money to cut the grass. What must be going on in the other departments? I will tell you this, if I was an active employee I would be pissed. It's not right that retireed employee receive better benefits then active employees.

Keep this in mind anyone in the Police II and Fire II pension plan received a 3% raise last year, This year they will get another 3% raise and next year another 3%, while active firefighters get zero. Also retirees pay zero for healthcare and active employees pay 20% co-pay.

The retirees in this City need to step up to the plate and experience some of the pain. Where are the union Presidents on this matter? I have a lot of respect for the President of the Providence Fire Fighters. He made it clear to the reitred firfighter that they needed to make consessions.

Maybe if that happen in Warwick we could by a lawn mower and some cabinets for the fire stations.
