When you review the summary of the legislation that is related to the volunteer fire service in the state, it will become clear that the majority legislators in the senate and the assembly do not genuinely care about you and I they have a much different agenda which does not address our issues. Out of all the bills related to the fire service introduced; only six made it through both chambers and one of those bills requires what we don’t need, additional training; the one thing we are unified in complaining about!
The legislators have demonstrated by their actions that they are more concerned with their pronouns and progressive agenda items, than the health of the volunteer fire service in this state.
If there were 25K bills introduced in the session how many can they pay real attention to? Note that only bills introduced by the majority party have made it through the committee process to a floor vote and to the Governor’s desk. We will wait to see what she signs into law.
Next time one of these politicians asks what they can do for you the answer is “genuinely support us” and pass the legislation that we endorse that will improve participation in the volunteer fire service!
