This site was created to open the public's eyes to how the Mayor and City Council of Gloucester City and surrounding Camden County Towns in NJ Spend your Tax Dollars. This site is also expanding to cover Gloucester County as well. To contact this site email [email protected].
Gloucester City mayor and council have pushed to bring back the volunteer fire fighters in hopes to eliminate as many paid fire fighters as possible.
They privatized the ambulance to cut the fire dept budget.
My question to mayor and council is.......... Why not bring back the auxiliary police and hire some class II officers?
If the mayor and council really want to save tax dollars and doing what they did to the fire dept was for that reason, then I feel that they owe the tax payers, auxiliary police and class II officers.
Auxiliary and class II officers could work city events ,take care of school bus stops and even direct traffic.
This would cut the overtime budget way down for the police dept. SAVING TAX PAYERS MONEY
Last year Mayor James & Council started to try and erase the 7/4/02 fire that killed three great men, by dis-including the fire service in the july 4 celebration.
In the past fire departments would march past the site of that tragic event to pay tribute, last year mayor James took that away from them.
On Dec. 23, 2010 Mayor James and Council went even further they laid off 8 firefighters. Staffing levels were increased as a direct result of the July 4 fire.
This year the mayor and council decided to have a parade, but again no fire departments were invited....
WHY DOES MAYOR JAMES & COUNCIL HATE THE FIRE SERVICE SO MUCH ??????????
REMEMBER -- THESE GUYS GAVE THERE LIVES FOR GLOUCESTER CITY
Please read the Proposal. The Mayor states that lourdes will not come after you for non payment. Gloucester City doesn't sue people for non payment if they do not have insurance as your taxes cover the service.
Lourdes explains in the proposal how you will be billed.
Also they are non union and eight union employees lost their jobs so this company could come into Gloucester. These employees were from Gloucester City.
