it does when departments buy firetrucks and ambulances. usually grant money wont be “granted” unless it’s deemed necessary, and the equipment is nothing more than needed. at least that’s how it is around these parts…for the most part ---

I wish something like this would happen in Amherst. Without anybody getting hurt of course. Something needs to be done about both the ridiculous amount of tickets written and the maximum fines plus the huge surcharges. And the fact that you have to pay day of court or else they yank your license. It’s pretty sad when people add another 10 minutes onto their commute to avoid your city along with all the gas stations and convenience stores along the way. ---
