if the public safety levy does not pass.
This new information came out at last night's Council of Councils Meeting by Fire Chief McCamley. He said he has been instructed, he didn't say by whom, that if the public safety levy does not pass, the city will not hire 16 new firefighters.
Since the January 28 special City Commission meeting held to discuss accepting the SAFR grant, firefighters and members of the public have been led to believe that regardless of the levy outcome, new fire personnel would be hired.
This is welcomed news since there isn't any spare change lying around City Hall.

I havent read anywhere that our firefighters could have stopped this or that fire if only they had a few more guys on the job.
Matter of fact, when the going gets tough, our city firefighters pull together rather well.
Let's see if I have this right, the fire chief supported the Highwood project, the city commissioners and mayor used general funds to pay SME (diverted our tax dollars for highwood instead of using them for what they should have been used for). Now the fire chief wants a levy to pay for more people that the general fund should have paid for.
Not just no, but hell no. Go live in the basket of apples you grew mr. fire chief.
