  1. Our Police and Fire Professionals Are Community Assets.
    How can we treat our first providers as first casualties of mismanaged budget processes. Surely, there are union contractual excesses, but that can work out via negotiations. What cannot be negotiated is their place in the community and the gratitude we owe them for protecting and preserving our families and selves under less than ideal circumstances.

    A good time to remember them is the moment we are in and well done award winners. My personal shout outs to Detective Spinner who has made Mayflower Avenue proud as well as Fireman Keven Thomas, who suffered serious burns not so long ago and many of you might remember him as a first class security staff member in the school district.

  2. good job, Detective Andolina.
