It is interesting that the MSB holds many of its responders to a 29.9 hour workweek as a means of holding down healthcare insurance costs, overtime, and other related expenses, but then the MSB just throws money as stupid and goofy efforts like the ferry, port, and railroad. One would think that providing top notch responses to medical and fire emergency would be much higher on their list of priorities. It shouldn't be that difficult as there are thousands of jurisdictions across the country that have similar circumstances and do a much better job. Perhaps the MSB should be modeling themselves after one of those successful progams.
