Think of the $$$$$ taxpayers could have saved if the fire dept. was better managed. Simply hire more firemen.

Or....dispose of the silly rule that to dispatch an ambulance means dispatching one or more fire trucks.

I give grudging credit to the building code and to fire suppression systems but actual we-have-to-put-this-out fires are rare. On the other hand, every time Granny slips on the sidewalk a pumper truck accompanies the ambulance to the site.

WHY?!?!?!?!

The muder weapon was an Oldsmobile. Obama and Hillary will now want to ban all Oldsmobiles!

Probably not. In most cases you are better off paying OT than hiring more workers.

SS taxes, retirement fund payments and insurance cost raises the cost of more workers to the point of making it impossible to hire more workers.
