Comments for Northshore Fire to receive $100,000 toward fire truck purchase at http://lakeconews.com , comment 1 to 8 out of 8 comments http://lakeconews.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:02:51 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8048 Using that logic every piece of equipment currently in stock is substandard. The problem with government is government does not have to live with a smart budget like its citizens. Government spends to much? Just raise a fee or tax. Pelooser and Reid are the purse string holders Donna, Bush does not mke the budget. - bearer Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:39:09 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8044 donna I pray your house never burns cause special district doesn\'t give a@#$% about you by the way you should ask the chief how much money special districts borrowed from the fire deparment. uneducated people should all be sent to stupidville - angisangels Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:50:48 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8042 is toilet paper money in Bushworld. They discussed what you suggest at the hearing but decided that like purchasing any used vehicle you never know what you\'re really getting. Finding a used vehicle\'s flaw on the way to a fire is not a good thing. Good suggestion in general tho. - Donna Christopher Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:46:52 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8031 For a minute I thought Donna was blaming Bush for the money being taken from the fire distict. There is a lot of used fire equipment available from other cities and the feds with low hours on them. Would it not serve the community better to buy two pieces of equipment at the same cost? - bearer Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:34:56 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8021 attention. "Who cares where the money comes from..." - George Bush, is that you posting as angisangels? OK, say the 100k went straight to the Firehouse instead of into redevelopment accounts. That 100k would earn interest for the firehouse instead of interest for the redevelopment fund. "It\'s about time..." the money is returned to the firehouse. Honey, it should never have NOT GONE TO THE FIREHOUSE to begin with. If you\'re gonna play, please keep up. - Donna Christopher Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:27:18 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8030 Donna I sure hope that it is not your house that burns to the ground if the truck breaks down. Who cares where the money comes from Northshore fire has a huge area to respond to and if they need ten trucks to save the lives and homes in our area than we should give it to them. Northshore firemen are the least paid on the lake and they kick ass day and night to save people like you who are more worried about money than what needs to be taken care. It is about time that the BOS returned to Northshore fire what the deserve. - angisangels Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:19:17 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8017 free. There are people on the payroll dedicated to redevelopment. So redev takes tax money that would normally go into the coffers of the firehouse which they would use to buy a truck. Instead of buying the truck with money in their account they now have to go to the BOS, who reconvenes as Redevelopment, with hat in hand, to ask for those same monies back to buy the truck. So did taxpayers just have to pay more for the same needed truck in the long run?? - Donna Christopher Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:08:20 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5761/919/#comment-8013 to ask about considering a used truck, but in the end most people would call getting a new one a good investment. Nothing worse than having an equipment problem as soon as you roll-up to an incident (been there, done that!), when you are confident of your gear\'s ability to do it\'s job you can concentrate on doing yours-that can be a big deal. If Cox says this is the only way to get the money then you can count on him having tried every other way, it may stretch the meaning of \"redevelopment\', but sometimes getting the job done is more important than staying handcuffed by the rules. - smurf Mon, 29 Sep 2008 07:39:58 +0100
