So because OT is to high, he wants to lay off some fire fighters... which anyone with a brain would tell you would lead to more OT...
Really how dumb is he and the people who re-elected him?

Somebodies not telling the whole story! The new Union President has inherited a big bag of POOP. He's doing the best he can under the circumstances.
- Fire Department overtime will likely be $1.9 million over budget when the fiscal year ends in June,
- New figures were released today showing that the Fire Department is on track to spend $10.7 million in overtime.
- Sick time in the Fire Department topped 20,800 hours over the past 14 weeks — or about 3,000 hours per two-week pay period.
- hired 52 new firefighters last autumn.
- The fire union has long insisted that high overtime is the result of under-staffing.
What was it AG Cuomo was looking into????????

Let me ask this... Since they have been understaffed for so long doesn't their time off keep adding up??
Couldn't you assume that now that they have more fire fighters, even though they're still wet behind the ears, that the vet's who have a lot of days off are now using them??
4248 would you be comfertable having 53 new guys come safe your house?

Dougles asked: "4248 would you be comfertable having 53 new guys come save your house?"
That is an impossibility, they don't run all the new guys together. Its not safe for them or the other FF's.
Also, sorry Dougles, read this again please, "20,800 hours over the past 14 weeks — or about 3,000 hours per two-week pay period"
Thats from people "Calling off sick" - that includes new guys, older guys. Thats not vacation or accrued leave - thats I got the flu and I am to sick to work. Not on duty injuries and such - called off sick.
NOT JUDGING - just stating fact - yes, I am a BFD Member.

Again, even if you don't use it does your sick time add up?

The older guys get a set amount a year or occurrence - the guys hired after around the 1980's earn theirs each month - yes they can bank it. Thats a good thing - if your hurt and its not covered by the City you then have your bank.
PS
I am a pissed off taxpayer and I have the greatest job in the world. I am blessed to have been allowed the position. Before that I worked at the Ford Stamping Plant - hated everyday of it - for thirteen years.

Sir,
Again you lie, you just cant face "Facts"
"20,800 hours over the past 14 weeks — or about 3,000 hours per two-week pay period"
So because your a Buffalo Cop who helps inflate your Departments overtime - you bash me. Also notice in order to discredit me he goes back 10 years and grabs a "Lancaster Dem Party" lie. I never "Claimed and IOD Injury" liar.
While in those last ten years he himself has piled up the tax funded Overtime. Average $20-30 Thousand a year over his base pay.
You can try and divert the issue - thats what your good at. Taxes are driving tax payers into foreclosure - while you and others stack your pensions and bank accounts.
This isn't about, "My Job is dangerous" - "Cops/FF's put their lives on the line"- "Some of are guys have died" -
So please spare us all the other lines you use - Its about taxes - Its about pension stacking - its about continual purposeful greed. Thats why AG Cuomo is here.
You are one who will drain the system and not once think of anyones future employment or chance at that employment. Your Union President is a good man - stuck in the middle, like the BFD Union President trying to salvage two Unions that have been manipulated by greed.
Good luck. Have a nice day and be safe

Fair question Dougles:
I have lived in the City most of my life. Bought my first home(two doubles) on the West Side after returning from my enlistment in the Army at the age of 20 - worked for Ford for 13 years. Bought two more single family homes in the City. So I believe I paid and am still paying my share - more than most do actually. Bought a single in Lancaster(built in 1954) in 1986.
