Dave, all that means is its been intentionally under budgeted for 30 years. Year after year they budget 1 million and year after year it comes in at 2 million and year after year everyone is just so shocked that those damned firefighters went over budget again... You need people on the trucks. It's as simple as that. People take vacations, they get sick and in this job they get hurt. The mayor and the council should just budget the appropriate amount (like say what the chief asks for year after year) and everyone can lose the faux outrage. No one ever speaks of the 2 million the fire dept generates with rescue runs that goes into the general fund and never gets accounted for in the FD budget.
