It seems that ICMA has a reputation as a biased "anti union" consultant, hired to provide…Read More "political cover" for attempts to "break the fire fighters union" under the "guise of efficiency."
http://labortribune.com/city-hired-fire-service-consultant-icma-recommendations-challenged-across-america/
Critics allege that ICMA's tactics include issuance of "a negative, opinion-based, fact deficient portrayal" of unionized fire service, which is "masterfully designed to guide a relatively naïve audience ... toward finding fault with their fire department."
ICMA allegedly “uses skewed data to persuade city councils to make changes to fire departments…”
Will the same scenario play itself out when ICMA issues its report for Garden City?

I completely agree with you...and that's my point. Our system does define adulthood by age (and too…Read More young of an age in my opinion) when it shouldn't be. And personally, I think talking on your cell phone or texting while driving should be an immediate loss of license.

Age does not determine adulthood. Maturity does. There are plenty of non-adult 30 year olds…Read More wandering around. You can see them on their cell phones while driving at 70 mph.
