“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.
They are even more surprised that public services are one of those things that actually saves money for a community. Like, spending on fire protection lowers insurance rates more than enough to offset the cost of the fire department…
I’m like, great, now do a basic social safety net and the costs of crime.
