Different pots of money. The big projects like construction come from bonds and you're not allowed to bond for salaries.

I should hope you're not getting classified info from your DHS or USSS or FBI friends. You claim to have a lot of inside info about the goings on in counter terrorism and homeland security but without a clearance there's gonna be a lot you don't hear about. So instead of bashing these guys for doing their jobs and the right thing, why don't you just lighten up.

So long as FD's act as their own little empires very little will change. My buddy quit one FD because of the internal politics and resistance to do anything that wasn't thought of by his chief. I bet they're one of the many you say doesn't pay attention to OSHA.

I thought the same thing and asked a buddy who works at Phelps. They do have a hyperbaric chamber but it isn't staffed 24x7 and the transfer to Jacobi was faster than calling the techs in from home on a Sunday night. Probably less expensive too.

Which is the best video game console? Wii Sony Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Christmas shopping and don't have a clue

Here's another problem with the medevacs in our area. Put on stand-by at 1729. Give an EIGHT minute ETA at 1731. Requested at 1735. On-Scene at 1754. I'm no genius but that seems like 19 minutes to me. Then they give a TWO minute ETA but don't show up for FOUR. What BS. So because of a BS ETA from the medevac operator the ground crew had to sit around for almost 20 minutes waiting when they could have been on the road.

Probatoin and Correctoins were both put under one Commissoiner years ago under the Spano regime. The DA's Office is run by the DA and not under the control of Astorino. Considering that DES was established only 10 years ago and can be put under the "Public Safety" umbrella without any harm to any fire, EMS or police departments in the County what is the harm in this proposal? Sounds like the haz-mat team will have more strength because of more people and a quicker response time so I don't know what everyone's all fired up about.

Hasn't the bomb squad been going to haz-mat calls and suspicous incidnets with the HMRT and the Health Department for years? Takeover or merger? Who cares? The county can do whatever it wants with or without our approval. Most of the proposal is for the administratoin. So what? Let them get rid of the big $$ people at the top. Keep DC Cullen as the County Fire Coordinator and we're no worse off then we have been under the Sutton administration.

Good for Mohegan. As busy as they are I'm surprised it took this long. It's much easier to contract with a company than to hire your own staff. Probaly costs a lot less too.

This is ridiculous. It is a legit question and if the guy was dead the guy was dead and CPR wasn't going to bring him back. There are protocols for the field termination of resuscitation and that gets talked about all the time. So what?

If CPR was started by bystanders or even first responders and was contraindicated it would be appropriate to terminate. If brain matter is all over the street, there's no point in doing CPR because it won't help. Other signs of obvious death could also have been present. There is a protocol for field termination of cardiac arrest so they probably went by that. The decison should have been made by the highest medical provider on the scene after assessing the patient.
