Firefighters in Texas struggle with financial crisis | kvue.com Austin
State funding for volunteer fire departments is taking a big hit. It is going from $30 million to $7 million. Those departments are already facing financial strains.
The State Firemens and Fire Marshals Association of Texas represents 21,000 state firefighters. The Association says more than 80 percent of volunteer firefighters are reporting taking a personal hit in the budget crisis. They have started using their own money to help pay for equipment and supplies.

Gee, I wonder if anyone will ask him about this during the next debate?
Does "prayer" work? Has it worked for Texas? Non believers want to know.
Texas lawmakers are passing legislation. How does this relate to Governor Perry? Did he request that this legislation be enacted?
And from what I have read so far, the budget for the current year is still intact. Can you prove otherwise?
California has slashed their firefighting budgets. Any comment on Democrats who aren't born agains doing the very same thing that the Texas lawmakers are doing?
Oh... well that's very different...
