Keep the firemen: This is regarding the Speak Out about cutting firemen from the job they do. I agree with the caller. Do not cut firemen. You will jeopardize your town and property. It’s not a good idea. They should take a cut in pay instead. I just don’t want to see another Great Chicago Fire here because you are getting rid of manpower. That’s not a good idea.

Put your money where your mouth is: All day long on the newscast I’ve seen this family of illegal immigrants who need several liver transplants. They are saying how our society has a moral obligation to give them these liver transplants even though they are illegal immigrants. I have an idea. Why don’t some of these Hollywood celebrities who talk about amnesty for illegals donate the money?
