The effects now trickling down to you. Its not hard to fill a firefighter position, its hard to fill one with a dedicated, trained individual. Your taxpayer dollars are funding a poaching problem. Chiefs are seeing their firefighters recruited while theyre on emergencies helping other agencies. Those agencies then get the thousands of dollars invested in training each year for each firefighte not to mention close to 3,000 worth of Fire Protection gear that only that person it was purchased for can youve given all that development too another agency. Customer see springs and willen springs share this service station. Because of that they will not be trading employees. We didnt want competing for employees to get in the way of our relationship in providing mutual aid and assistance. We came up with a program that we will not actively recruit each others full time employees. That agreement is unique in the upstate because firefighters are willing to jump to two or three different departments in as many years just to get ahead by as little as 1,000 extra a year. The problem is departments have no retention tool as most in the state share the state Retirement Plan. Because of that small departments are seeing around 1 in 10 of their firefighters leave each year along with your tax dollars. Very little of it can i take off one person and put on the next. The seems to have come up with a solution, opting to have their own Retirement Plan that doesnt roll out into the state making it tougher for firefighters to hard. It makes it harder for that employee to say i want to go work for charleston or one of the departments that are on the state system because theyre not poortle portable.

It goes in that landfill and its there forever. I didnt know until today. How do you feel . Not good. I think we should still do it. Counties that have to end Glass Recycling like spartanburg say they agree. We want to continue our Glass Recycling program. We want it more than anything. Unfortunately our hands are tied. They say they cant find another company to take the glass now that Pratt Industries will no longer accept it in greenville and spartanburg counties.
