Atlantic Yards YES! FDNY NO!
Just the other day we were telling our friends, "If only the Mayor could deacitvate more engine companies and cut back FDNY staff to ensure aid to developer Bruce Ratner and his floundering Atlantic Yards megaproject."
From today's NY Post, FDNY'S SLASH AND BURN:
The FDNY will be slashing nighttime staff at a handful of firehouses around the city in a belt-tightening move that critics say threatens to increase response times and that has residents and union officials seeing red.
The department expects to save $9 million by deactivating three engine companies and one ladder for the overnight shift when the plan goes into effect on Jan. 17.
