From talking with some of the EMS crews, they use OT to cover furlough days, as well. Seems silly, and I'd bet they're paying out more than they're saving. Of course, this is just punishment for our unions (FOP, IAFF) supporting Jerry. I'd include the EMS guys in there, but their union supports the big headed one...the crews don't, just the sellout union bosses. Remember to call your state legislators and express your support for SB119. It's in committee currently, and they'll meet next Wednesday.
