Charleston city employees would go without across-the-board pay raises for a second straight year under the proposed 2011-12 Charleston budget, which was unveiled Tuesday evening. In addition, 12 firefighter jobs and six police positions would be cut under the new budget, City Manager David Molgaard said, although no one will lose his or her job. The city already has more than that number of vacancies in the two departments, because Mayor Danny Jones ordered a freeze on hiring new uniformed employees last March.
As you settle in around Charlestons riverfront Saturday night for the annual free concert by the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra and fireworks display, youll invest a couple hours of your time for the free entertainment. By the time the last shell is fired in the finale, Steve Osborne and his team with Premier Pyrotechnics will have spent 45 hours or more on your good time. And then theyll work into the wee hours of Sunday cleaning it all up. I tell people if you want to get into this business to watch a show, then youre not going to work, Osborne said. Osborne is a Charleston firefighter by day or by shiftwork, to be exact.

A Milwaukee Common Council committee moved Thursday to cut management positions in the Fire Department, using the money to help restore some of the proposed staffing reductions of front-line firefighters. If the move holds when the full council votes next week on the 2006 budget, it would be a partial victory for the firefighters union but perhaps only a temporary one.
Wrap your spindly checkbook around this feat: Danielle Murray feeds her family of three on just $150 a month - and they're not just eating beans and rice.

One of Dunbar Police Chief Terry Coleman's officers came back last week from serving in Iraq.

When he returned to Racine, he worked various jobs, including as a firefighter and a supervisor at a motor company.
Columbia's municipal government lives off of its savings. And that will continue for at least the next two years as it tries to bring general fund expenses back into line with revenues. By using the surplus built during boom years, City Manager Bill Watkins said last week, the city can maintain services such as fire, police, public health and public works.
