In my opinion, this Tit for Tat thing needs to stop. While I believe the Ambulance service being nixed in Batavia was shady to say the least, and wrong, I think the firefighters Union should just maintain there rate of pay.
We are in a financial crisis, and I think raises, and bonuses of any kind to any City, and County Officials, Firefighters, ect, is like throwing salt in the Batavia taxpayers wounds. We are supposed to be striving for lowering taxes, not raising them. In my opinion this is a fine example of Dirty Politics, and I have always seen right through it. Fine mess you've gotten yourself into boys..... And not at the expence of yourselves, but the innocent taxpayers.
