PelhamToday received the following letter supporting James Culic's Hot Take on redundant levels of firefighting management in Niagara:

Police and firefighting budgets are the driver of the largest increase in our property taxes almost every year. Their salaries have risen quicker than almost any other private or public sector occupation.

I worked in a heavy industrial manufacturing business where there were more serious injuries per year than in any other place I know.

Culic gets my vote, just (for) his idea of restructuring all of Niagara and stopping the duplication of jobs in all classifications.
