Good news for federal firefighters

Biden, today, on the solstice, signed a hefty pay raise for 16000 federal firefighters. It was about time. These young men and women have been underpaid for a very dangerous job for far to long. Thank you men and women for all that you do to protect the rest of us. Even with the hefty pay raise, you are not paid enough.
