Midway Fire District got spanked yesterday by the voters losing its referendum: Yes 1291 No 5391. This is a crushing defeat for MFD.
Of course, the first reaction of Midway Chief Stephen Demeter – according to the PNJ – is to cut front line firefighters. Why is it that the chief, other high-ranking officials and administrators never say, “This means I will have to take a pay cut?”
Expect more people from the business community to run for the MFD Board. The money train has stopped in Midway.
