Kansas City Fire Department Leaders To Brian Platt: Go Back To Jersey!!!

So . . . 

Local news isn't reporting it yet but it's actually a VERY BIG DEAL that KCFD has cancelled their latest recruiting class in the midst of a hiring crisis. 

The impact on public health & safety can't be understated.

But just to bring a bit more heat and make the story even more spicy . . .

KCFD LEADERS ARE CALLING OUT THE CITY MANAGER ON THE RECORD VIA SOCIAL MEDIA!!!

We have the screenshot and even a modicum of searching via FB will reveal this quote and similar ones as KCFD is FUMING after a decision by the 12th & Oak leader . . .

"It's time for (the city manager) to go to the new KCI and catch a flight back to New Jersey. We are short more than 160 firefighters in the KCFD and he has decided to cancel the new recruit/cadet class of 120. More than 60 of those vacancies are for paramedics. Our firefighters and medics are working excessive amounts of OT to keep KCMO safe. Often, this OT is mandatory. This can't continue." 

From our vantage . . .

This looks like a grudge match led by Mayor Q but it's important to know that so many council incumbents are going along for the ride as they snub public safety concerns ahead of election season.
