Business as usual isn't best option

We'll all be volunteers!
I heartily encourage citizens of Paris to support the select board in their effort to totally “reorganize” the fire department and go all-volunteer by insisting that the board adopt a plan citizens of Scotland have for their highlands.

We have developed a good relationship during these years, where any topic of concern, interest or future events, etc., can be discussed.
