Fires in the City are up, what...50 or 60%? But let’s focus on what’s really important here...LGBTQ diversity. How many high profile fires have we seen recently, but this issue is more important? They send bosses to Columbia for a free masters degree like we send our hard chargers to Harvard and this is what they come up with? What a complete progressive joke.
