The actions of Mayor Ken Gnadt are sending the wrong message to the community.
Actions always speak louder than words.
Mayor Gnadt wanted to do away with 21 firefighters, and the community spoke up. The firefighters provide a valuable and important service to the community. All this was done without budgeting for it, and it was done in the middle of the year without the public input during a budget process. This is not the norm, so it looks to me like special treatment. The council needs to look at all the needs of the city and put together one plan that benefits us all.
