  21. I read this article when it was out, sure would be a refreshing change for us. Then in yesterday Journal News I see the new Supt. of schools( Somers )starts early at salary of 225,000 with a 3 year contract. must be nice...waiting for his house to sell in Colarado and his family will move here wonder if Somers gets to foot the bill for all that too.
  22. Having been a chief already, I followed all the Fire Department rules (by laws). I was 30 when I became chief out at 38 years old, served as Lieut. 2 years Captain for 3 years, I was a member for 7 years before I became Lieut. One of the years i was up for re election I had competion, from an ex chief ( i was running for 2nd asst.) was the year we moved dispatch to 60 control a progessive move for us. I won barely as been said the popularity contest. Anyways I think the Fire Districts should set the standards higher than the Fire Departments do.They are the boss they should mandate times in service, training, courses,etc. Some of the by laws have not been updated since there inception. It is time for this all to change. Something I was taught a long time ago by a customer, I would rather see and talk to the older gentleman with the gray hair he has more experince than you do. Food for thought.....
  23. Ken Congrats, great job, you should be very proud of yourself. Jim Arena
