Look at the items posted of 7:36. I ave a suspicion that htey will want to redirect some of the "revitalization" funds to the Bricks and that ranshackled laundry that should be maintained or demolished at the expense of hte owner, not hte taxpayers. AFP, are you out there?

Does anyone know why the Salisbury Fire Department is handing out light duty like it is candy. This is a good thing if someone needs it, but why are sick days offered if they are going to get light duty. Something to consider is they will be getting paid twice for there sick time because they didn't use it and then they will be able to count sick time towards there retirement. How much office work is there that all these light duty people are needed? These "injuries" did not happen on the job and they should stay home till they get better. Light duty is not offered to everyone, just fans of Bill Gordy and Rick Hoppes. Several firefighters have been denied light duty because "nothing is available." However, certain people have been given light duty several times which has lasted six month's to two years. This is a fact one person has been on light duty for almost 2 years. Is this appropriate? What does the Salisbury Employee Handbook say about it? The Salisbury Fire Department needs a chief in place now to discontinue all of this corruption.
