I agree with everything you've said. Although there are a LOT of retired Firefighters and Law Enforcement Officers (2 in this family) here in TV, most people do not know what it's like to walk in the shoes of a Firefighters or Law Enforcement Officer; how a lot of these Public Servants have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet for their families. My wife and I are fortunate to have made some good investments over the years and are able to help out our son (a KCPD SWAT Team member) and his family from time to time. We are big proponents any time an increase in a tax to fund a raise for these underpaid people comes up for discussion.
