FIRE FIGHTER'S LAMENT
Firefighters feel like they are being sprayed with a cold, high-powered hose.
The last legislature, a voter told me today, passed legislation cutting into their retirement. He said the firefighters' retirement fund had a large amount of money in it, so the legislators decided to put some of that money elsewhere. "They've taken our from our fund to supplement teachers and cops, which doesn't seem right," he said.
He said firefighters cannot easily retire from a job, draw the retirement, and then hook up to a new job. "It took me six years just to get on the first time," he said.
BOB BENNETT'S OUSTER
Sweep all the scoundrels out, one voter seemed to be telling me today, as I campaigned my way through 570 East, 540 East, 9940 South and 575 East, all of which are south of 9800.
Bob Bennett lost his spot, the man said, "not because they don't like him, but because they don't like the way things are. And, if they don't get things straightened out, there's going to be a rebellion in this United States that they won't be able to stop."
