I think the board is going to give the bonus and the poll wont sway them, but this is just my way of hitting back. I wouldn't ask anyone who doesn't feel comfortable or agree with my position to vote. I don't think the board is making decisions based on a poll, but it will be fun to see them try to figure out how the poll was in our favor.

I wasn't implying you were asking for sympathy from anyone here, but the local people in your area are those you have to concern yourselves with more than people here. At the end of the day, they're footing the bill for your salaries and trying to get by with less themselves.

A lot of us probably don't really appreciate the services provided by our fire, ambulance, and police departments and recognize it's not a path for making big bucks. After 10+ years in the corporate world, I realized I wasn't cut out for it and back to school now for a degree in nursing. There are far more riches in life you can achieve that don't pertain to a dollar sign.

Good luck.
