There is minimal protection now, long response times because there is no manpower, firefighters working overtime to the extent that it is now dangerous to themselves and others [[due to fatigue), Police coverage is slow....what will happen now if they go through with these cuts?

Many departments are left unscathed. Some departments should be closed. Why would a City cut emergency responders? If someone can answer this question, I'd love to know the answer. These City leaders need to get the hell out of the CAY building because they are inept buffoons!

Also, the Deputy Mayor said they are cutting $160 million from the budget by eliminating and consolidating departments. The proposed cuts to Police and Fire are about $50 million, much of that thorough the 10% wage cut. The rest of the departments have already taken a 10% wage cut so where do you think that other $110 million in cuts is gonna come from if Police and Fire are not laying personnel off?

It takes a lot of nerve for one to call these elected officials ”buffoons” when you make comments that make one question whether you [[based on your comment) have mastered basic reading comprehension and math.
