Informed taxpayer, Just look at the contract at the pages that I cited you will see the stipulation on Halloween and also on the waiting time. Right there in black and white. For both you and SteveD, the sick time is outrageous. You are correct in one aspect. That is that most firefighters historically don't take sick time. They bank it and cash it in. Just check the budget numbers if you are capable and you will see that only $16,000 was paid in sick time, yet $338,000 was paid in buy back bonuses. in 2012, it was $550,000. Hence, deductive reasoning would indicate that it is an unnecessary amount of sick time and that it should not be cumulative.

Again, I haven't heard you or Braniac SteveD address the fundamentals of the issue which is the documented Overtime. Why, if we have access to the numbers, why don't you? Why cant either of you make an argument based on fiscal facts and substantiate your argument with numbers. You cant , you wont, your heads are buried in the sand.
