The recent 6 New Rochelle Firefighters that have been laid off due to irresponsible managing of city funds has put our city and our family’s at risk for death and or injury. Why couldnt the city council look into letting go DPW ? POLICE ? But the city decides to make a decision based on what ? They have let go some of the bravest men who put there lifes on the line to protect our wonderful city day in and day out. How about letting go people within the city hall area. Let go of parks and recs not jobs that protect us. Im not certain dont quote meon this but since this new mayor came in he has messed up since day 1. Tha previous mayor didnt want to let go of new rochelle firefighters. This is a really big issue that pisses me off that the city council of new rochelle makes the mistake with mis-managing money then decides to take it out on the fire department. I think there should be a investigation into the people who run our city because they are not doing a good job at all. I will be planning on protesting and also writing the state government to let them know this issue new rochelle has. I hope and pray that the firefighters laid off get there jobs back. I want people to stand up for the city of NEW ROCHELLE and voice there word to the media. One last thing before i go. IF the city has money problems in this poor economical time. WHy dont the present mayor have his salary cut ? Ponder that.

I was wonder about the other
I was wonder about the other city depts as well as was surprised that no other departments were cut. Not that I think these 6 people/firefighters should get their jobs back, just that I think the city should and could have done a lot more to keep next year’s tax increase to a minimum. A 6% increase when inflation is near 0 seems to be a bit high.
Just who got laid off anyway? I’ll bet they were all indians and that no chiefs got the ax which is wrong. 1 chief probably costs as much a couple of indians, who are doing the bulk of the work anyway.
Has State Comptroller Been Contacted?
The State Comptroller should be contacted to ask for an audit of the City’s finances.
