So if I read it correctly, the article says that the cynical ploy to get more funds by creating a policy that let someone die, was successful. Nobody got fired – not the idiot that wrote the policy, the chief that defended the policy, nor the officers that followed a visibly flawed policy.
And the city “restored funds” for training.
Time for an all volunteer fire department in Alameda, or one from the private sector that can keep up their certifications without “restored funds”
And we get to pay a 90% plus retirement to these great heros.
