Here's a link to an article in the online Blog Fire Chief. It is written by Mark Chubb, a career fire safety professional with more than 25 years experience as a fire chief, fire engineer and fire safety consultant.

Sometimes it helps to go outside Vallejo to get a different perspective!!

   Vallejo's March 3 Council Meeting

 3/5/08                                       Lipstick on a Flying Pig and Other Sordid Tales 

By Marc Garman 

Monday’s City Council “Special Session” was a press circus and a cavalcade of crazy characters. Chambers were packed with both supporters and detractors of the fiscal stop gap measure before the council.

Outspoken council irritant Sam Kurshan was ejected from the chambers by police to the strains of “hey hey—na-na-na-na—hey heeey—goodbye” from jubilant firefighters and their supporters.

James Moore, another strident voice, and volunteer fire and police department advocate wheeled in a barbeque grill with a severed pig’s head on it to make his point.  I’m not sure if folks were laughing or gagging or both, but it certainly had an impact.

Who says Vallejo is boring??
