To the editor:
As I read the story of the Buck Creek Township Fire Department and their inability to come up with the money to pay their pension fund and their salaries, I saw the solution. (“Buck Creek firefighters face pay cut as runs rise,” Dec. 22, Page A1.)
The article says that they have budgeted for three new hires. That money can instead be used to pay the pension fund and to increase the salaries of the existing firefighters.
So, I was disappointed to see the trustee plead poverty when he purposefully chose to add more employees rather than to properly pay his current people.
