100 words | less work for firefighters

The Davis City Council has mandated that city staff reduce the numbers of garbage cans on the greenbelt and in city parks. The city’s Community Service/ Parks Division anticipates savings in the ballpark of roughly $40,000/ year as this will reduce labor costs required to maintain the city parks and cost of trash liners. Of course, this will also inevitably lead to a reduction in potential jobs for firefighters, as the potential for garbage cans setting on fire will decrease. It looks like I’m going to have to increase my efforts to keep the Davis FD busy. Hmm, BBQ anyone?
