1) No-one receives stipend unless they are certified.

2)Yfd does not respond to any police related calls. All calls come in and are screened as to who to send.You can only respond to the calls you are dispatched to. Involved in that 46 % were 84 incidents where YFD used the defib to shock.

3) The union offered arbitration back in Sept..When the city lost confidence ,they put off the arbitration,not 628 .

4)The mayor has no valid points and is making up **** as he goes. He does not support the YFD , actions speak louder than words. If hiring 25 when your short 50 is a large class, OK . The Mayor also states ot has been abused for the last 5 years, hmmm, pretty much when the last Mayor slashed all ranks with demotions and layoffs and filled the the spots with ot .

5)manning clause, yes pretty unique and well thought out and apparently well worded.

Oh God, I have so much to say but I can't because it would be inapproperate! do some research...guy from Poughquag, 70 miles from the action!

Tension in regards to Empress?

We don't save lives every day...

I've spent the majority of my career in SW yonkers and have seen good and i have seen bad when it comes to Empress. I, like JFlynn believe the 2 entities work well together (give or take a nut in a safari hat).

The "nut in a safari hat" isn't going anywhere
