Why can't we can already render mutual aid for rescues without spending $2,000,000 on a new firehouse?

This is pretty spectacular. A union member screaming that growing government is going to be a revenue generator for the city. Don't worry, the city council will rubber stamp it. Our taxes will continue to go up every year, unlike Cranston where the mayor has admitted that there is a severe problem, dealt with the problem, and been able to not raise property taxes two years in a row. I understand the point very well. You don't. Your not supposed to raise your taxes every year. Revenues should rise through an expanding economy. When you overspend and perpetually raise taxes, people and business move away. More people lived in Warwick in 1970 than do today. Do you think the 1200 jobs lost to N.C. are going to be replaced by another major employer? Shrinking our expenses and lowering the cost of living here and doing business here are what will save this city. I know you see this as a revenue generator, but your the only one. Please remind me of this conversation as soon as the new fire station goes from in the red to in the black. (that means from when it goes from being unprofitable to profitable).
