Apparently, we’re cheap—er, thrifty—according to our mayor, and not willing to pay for adequate fire-fighting equipment. Yikes—way to make us look bad to the rest of the country!

That quote by the mayor jumped out at me, considering he has said he doesn’t yet support raising city taxes to help solve the city’s financial problems.
