Again, it's good work if you can get it despite pensions in flux and a tumultuous Kansas City political climate.
No big deal just layoff more City Hall employees to hire more FD employees. The Fire Department needs more employees for BBQ and grocery store runs. (At Taxpayer expense of course.) gotta love the unions.
ReplyDeleteWe're told there's a budget crisis:
ReplyDeleteYeah right.
There's plenty of money at City Hall;
When City Hall wants something.
This is another reason to vote against the E-tax. Get rid of the slush fund. Stop Government waste.
Don't you think through attrition and retirements that there are going to be a few positions open up. Don't get your dirty panties in a wad...
ReplyDelete*You must be willing to pretend that Louie and Sherwood are not crooks.
ReplyDeleteWell, that rules out most sane people.
Here's an idea take the people making the food runs to the grocery store wearing fire fighters outfits and make them real fire fighters instead of errand boys.
ReplyDeleteLike any organization, you are bound to have retirements, people quitting, etc... how the fuck else do you replace these people, moron?
ReplyDeleteLearn how to spell you idiot: "conscious"
ReplyDeleteKansas City government is so screwed up one minute there's no money, next minute theres a pension crisis, now they want to hire fire fighters while laying off at city hall. We can only pray that once their heads stop spinning that their face is forward.
ReplyDeleteDamn people. The fire department has to fill vacancies created by guys retiring. Relax. In the long run it will save money because a new firefighter gets paid a whole lot less then a 30 year vet.
ReplyDeleteThe fire department has to keep an up to date eligibility list in the event vacancies come open (due to retirements,etc.) This happens every 2 years regardless of the economic climate (per city charter). Notice the major advertising are yard signs and not billboards.
ReplyDelete"a new firefighter gets paid a whole lot less then a 30 year vet." Be afraid, people in EMS,be very afraid.
ReplyDeleteEms will be all fire department soon. Another good reason to move to Johnson County.
ReplyDeletehell every day you see fireman from kc at hy vee or price shoppers. wonder if they get discount for gas for the fire trucks nah they keep that for there own. and if they do away with the e tax where will the dept heads get money for there other pension that no one knows about. that the people support that pension along with the city pension

ReplyDelete12:57, if you are going to make a point, please try again in coherent English and not your version of engrish.
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone loved firemen???
ReplyDeleteYour jobs must really suck.
Just layoff more employees at City Hall to make more room for more Fire Fighters.
ReplyDeleteAlways recruit Fire Fighters every two years- where have you been Tony? Covers nautral attrition through retirements.
ReplyDeletei do love firemen...lol, you people are ignorant and pathetic. and 1224...ems is all fire department....check out their new logo's.
ReplyDeleteIm not a fireman...but come on people. They work 24 hour shifts..they go to the grocery store to get food for the day..we all have to eat....I was always told that fireman and EMS people dont get poaid for what they do..they get paid for what they are willing to do..give them a break. They are here for all of us.
