No compromise on firefighters’ pay

Dear Editor,
Tom Stone is 100 percent right (“Reader calls for paramedics millage paid for,” Sept. 11). And now township management is arguing a binding arbitration ruling favoring the firefighters, instead of pushing for a new fire millage.
There is a critical shortage of paramedics. We should be doing everything we can to attract and keep our firefighters and paramedics, not playing politics with our families’ lives. There are several other reasons which make paying the firefighters pension a “no brainer.”
