I have visited the city of Phoenix many times and spent time with firefighters socially and in training. Phoenix has ALWAYS been on the cutting edge of firefighter issues. I am not surprised when the city falls on hard times, those firefighters trust the city to do the right thing with their concessions. I wish this city could be trusted too!
When times were good, I didn't see the City of Springfield jumping to "do what other cities are doing" in wanting to match wage increases that were given. But now that times are "tough", the city is quick to go hunting for items like this. Go figure! And finally, why have a blog if you are afraid to post the comments?
Springfield became the Illinois state capital in 1837 with the help of a young lawyer and politician named Abraham Lincoln. He lived in the city until he left to become the 16th President of the United States, in 1861.
Springfield's state capitol building contains a flurry of legislative activity each fall and spring as Illinois is one of the largest and most influential states in the U.S. The Springfield city government utilizes a strong mayoral aldermanic council form of government to provide representation to over 120,000 residents.
