Firehouse Chat with Harry R. Carter Ph.D., MIFireE
Detour for the day...
Harry Carter, contributing editor to Firehouse.com paints an
interesting picture about what the average public servant is up
against...when attempting to their job. There is an aura of intrigue
as to why the "infrastructure" we rely upon and used to assume was
fully intact, has been disrupted through subtle agenda ridden
initiatives.
This editorial also boomerangs my thoughts back to my own backyard,
where shootings in Minneapolis, Minnesota is occurring in areas
typically untouched before. After the Minneapolis Police department
faced forced creative (legal) bookkeeping techniques in 2004 at the
hands of the city council and a 2003 budget cut in local government
aid - state government grants.
The author hits on areas of concerns that do transcend across this
nation. From the perspective of the regular everyday citizen, I would
expect that all the services that I pay taxes for, are not just
intact, but completely and thoroughly meant to do what it was intended
for.
The author is absolutely correct; each area of service represents a
different role with different needs. If those local level familiar
roles are changing away from the norm...we do have many more problems
ahead. Unfortunately, constantly waiting for the next well planned
crisis to occur, is damaging to the psyche.
Dr. Carter says what he feels. This is the voice of "been there, done
that." This is the voice of someone who cares. I appreciate his
courage for expressing his opinion openly.
