Politicians Get Free Rides Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Whatever happened to volunteer services, for ambulances, paramedics, firemen and police?
In New Jersey they all operate on a volunteer basis, having fund raisers to buy and pay for fire trucks, ambulances, police cruisers, etc.
What's wrong with phoenix city council and government, that they have to pay family and friends one hundred thousand dollars in pay per year?
People who need jobs go without or have to take minimum wage jobs to feed and house their families.
Why, because politicians take care of their own and look away if it's someone they don't know.
Why don't politicians work for less or free - why do they expect ordinary people living on the edge to do so?
