They agreed to return the nomination sheet to me by the first of next week, and we'll put together a ballot for them, just like a regular election.

We found that one firefighter was considered inactive because he doesn't come to all the meetings, but he still fights fires. He would still be eligible to vote. To my mind, if you're risking your life to fight our fires, you should get to vote.

The firefighters were very wound up.

They all seemed pretty happy.

Sorry, I don't do resolutions. That's for the simple fact that, whatever I say I'm going to do, I try to do it.
