The Financial State of Parma is not bad after all...

Well just because the election is over does not mean we should stop discussing city wide issues. More then ever now we need to watch our local leaders as they spend all those precious tax dollars.
They plan to move forward with building the two new fire stations. Remember how we were going to ruin Parma if 117 passed? Now we have millions set aside to build two brand spanking new fire stations??
Don't be fooled by the "Not using Parma's tax dollars to pay for this" bit.
The money they are using was earned from the insurance bills sent to people who needed the use of our Ambulances.
Let me ask one question...Who owns the Ambulances?? The answer: The People of Parma. Since the Ambulances are owned by the people of Parma (In other words...our tax dollars bought those vehicles) shouldn't the money made from the use of those vehicles also belong to the people of this great city?
All I say is don't sit back and watch. Here are some other questions:
1) How was the land for the new stations paid for?
2) What contractors are going to profit from building these new firestations?
3) How long will it be before the city cries about no having any money?
4) Who is going to pay for the asbestos removal and tear down of the old buildings?
5) What contractor is going to profit from the asbestos removal and tear down?
6) What does the city plan to do with the land where the current fire stations are?
7) Who is going to profit from that land??
Nate Gray just received 15 years for bribing political officials. The politicans should get life. I hope there are no shenanigans going on in Parma, but we are talking about millions of our hard earned dollars.
More to come...

Request by previous Fire Chief's asking to replace stations 1 and 2 date back to the early 1960's. The new station are long overdue, and most of the planning has been orchestrated by Parma Fire's Assitant Chief.
