This just in Joe, speaking of flights.

You know how desperate the City is with balancing it's budget and how high the taxes are for the tax payers. And the Rain Tax on top of all that.

Well the Salisbury Fire Department is at it again. Not only are they building a multimillion dollar mini mansion in the Ghetto of Station 16'a Taj Mahal in the Ghetto they are sending 4 of the Chiefs favorites on an all expense paid vacation again. Connect the dots, there is a pattern there.

That's right the Salisbury Fire Department is flying at least 4 paid firemen to Atlanta Georgia for an all expense paid vacation on our dime for at least 4 to 5 days. They are flying down to Atlanta Georgia for the IAFC FRI 2015 - International Association of Fire Chiefs, Fire Rescue International Conference. Sort of like the all expense paid vacation some get in the Spring and FDIC in Indianapolis.

Fire-Rescue International

August 26 - 29, 2015

Atlanta, GA

Each August,thousands of the most prominent fire and emergency service leaders from across North America and around the globe come to FRI to learn, network and collaborate together.

IAFC FRI 2015 - International Association of Fire Chiefs registration fees are at least $750 per person times 4 = $3000. That doesn't include the flight down which might be about $700 per person times 4 = $2,800.

Then you have room and board which will be about $209 per night times 4 nights times 2 rooms. $836 times 2 equals $1672

And networking events which is about $100 - $200. Another $800. Now the cost to eat which is about $75 per day per person. $600.

$9,000

That's right folks Rick Hoppes, John Tull, Jim Ireton and Jake Day just raped the fellow tax payers out of another $9,000 to $10,000

Ten Thousand Dollars($10,000) wasted by Rick Hoppes, John Tull, Jim Ireton and Jake Day. Yes they raped you hard again. BTW how does your butt feel today.

Oh did I mention that John Tull was Deputy Chief John Tull? Yes those 4 and the other three paid firemen don't mind raping the City of Salisbury tax payers because neither one of them pay taxes to the City of Salisbury!!

Stfu. Many companies,organizations and municipals send their employees to training and seminars. For all you know they could learn to save thousands while down there. You know so much about this and FDIC etc.... It's obvious your disgruntled from being pathetic and stuck as a volunteer. Didnt get paid position and hates the fire dept. Or more likely the volunteers didn't even want you.

Did it ever occur to you that a vacation might be just time away from work and enjoying the luxuries of a nice hotel with a pool and nights out on the town on someone elses dime. Idiot!
