Boston School News Team Looks at Brownouts

Comment by Kelly Saunders on August 29, 2009 at 1:34pm - These politicians sure are good at deflecting the truth, trying to shift the focus away from the real issue- safety to blaming the union & the firefighters. I wonder how many of these idiot political hacks have Stations being closed in their neighborhoods? The mayor of Boston & the rest of his cronies should maybe someday do something totally un-heard of for a politician- TELL THE TRUTH! Longer response times means people are going to pay the price- bigger fires & lives lost that could have been saved.
