BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST -

A poem to my wife!

LYNN :You are my heart, my hope, my help, The passion that is me, The whole of which I am a part, My peace, my ecstasy.

:You are my future, present, past, My ship, my sail, my ocean, The wind that brings me home again, The home for every motion.

LYNN:You live within me, yet I am Without you all alone. With you I am full of light; Without you I am stone. Is this foolish? Yes, perhaps, But also it is true. I think of life as something I Can spend with only you. Ah, my love! Love longs for such Sweet celebrants as this!Love is a burden and a joy, Slavery and bliss. This day of love come love with me,

LYNN:Come sing with me my song. Come be my Valentine, and I Will love you my life long, my love, Will love you my life long.

I LOVE YOU LYNN

WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST TODAY

RAYMOND BARTON
President of the Flint Firefighters.

Welcome Mr. Barton.

Sheriff Robert Pickell at a recent meeting of the Genesee County Board of Commissioners said “ Its time for Genesee County to take over the paramedic emergency runs into the City of Flint.” MR. BARTON DO YOU AGREE, AND WHY?

Sheriff Pickell inferred the community has not received adequate service for the $700,000 per year that the Flint Fire Department receives from the Emergency Service Millage. This millage has been in effect for 20 years. MR BARTON IS THIS TRUE AND WHY?

Please describe what the Millage is?

MR BARTON You stated that “ No one can give the service that we provide. “Please explain what you mean.


A Flint County Commission Omar Sims said response time is slow in Flint. Is this true?

A firefighter Rico Phillips at the last County Commission meeting on this issue asked “ Is the system broken? What is the real reason Sheriff Pickell wants to take this service over.”

MR BARTON Why do you think Sheriff Pickell wants to take this service over?

If Sheriff Pickell is successful how will this impact emergency advance life support call in the City of Flint?

How will the Sheriffs proposal affect Response time?

Type of personnel that will respond under the Sheriffs Plan?

A fire Fighter Trent Farnsworth sent an email that I distributed in it he said Sheriff Pickell has poorly managed the EMS services he currently controls. Is this true? He said the system is fractured.

What does that mean?

He said “ The terms of the millage are being violated by Pickell insistence of a money grab? What does that mean?

How could the millage distribution be contrary to the intent of the millage.

The last I heard there is a Genesee County Commission meeting scheduled for 2/18/09. Is this meeting still on , what will happen, can the community speak at this meeting?

OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW ARE INVITED TO CALL IN THEIR QUESTIONS AND SHORT COMMENTS.

MR BARTON A IS MY CUSTOM THE LAST 3 MINUETS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE YOURS?
