Oh, because I am not in your firefighter cheering club you don't feel my opinion should be heard...
I am sure you learned the real reason why you volunteered during the psychological testing. You could not just drive past a fire, so you might as well be going there for a purpose.
The teachers have a tough job, the grounds keepers have a tough job, the utilities workers have a tough job, the bartenders down at the square have a tough job...we want to attract the best at all those positions too, lets give them all 20% more salary in a year!!!!
That is a ridiculous amount to ask for in one year, and no it is not going to attract any better candidates - because the people they already have (the ones working for 33K a year) are not going to be fired to make room for better personnel.
This is not NY, this is not PA...the salaries are lower here and so is the costs to live here. Stop trying to ruin it by matching salaries they had up north, where cost of living was so high we retired here.
