Counting down some more....

We've been excited and depressed alternatively after hearing rumors, people backing Klein for stupid reasons, others backing VanSesson for true reasons....both of which we, as firefighters, know. However the public may or may not know. For example...the mayor was upset, and stopped us from sending 2 ambulances for serious patients.....saying it was a waste of resources (the 2nd unit was always available for other calls).

Or when the mayor came to a police traffic stop and said it also was a waste of resources for more then 1 police unit to be at the scene..

Most people don't care about these posts but if you happen to live in Crown Point, Indiana.....you should.

The Election countdown....

So the primary is approaching and Gayle VanSesson is our choice at the fire department. Not to mention Mark Schweitzer for council, one of our own firefighters . If we don't get the current mayor out, we're in for a long hard ride (see previous posts about our chief quitting because the mayor did not like what was posted on our sign in front of the station...honoring those who died on 9/11!). And if I get enough comments, I'll post some of the things the mayor has done so far to let you, the reader, decide if waht he is doing is in the best interest of the city.

In the meantime, go to this YouTube link to see 1 of our music videos on a typical day at or fire department....produced totally by some of our firefighters:
