NJ is probably as bad or worse with the unions though I dont know that they have the overtime issue we see here. The point of my sarcastic remark was that if people sitting in some miserable overcrowded, poluted town with lousy weather knew there was an opportunity to be a firefighter with the wages and benefits enjoyed out here while living in a place live Carlsbad the line for that job would be a million people long and that is not an exageration.

The forces of supply and demand are way out of whack!
