Thank You. Thank you for taking the time to read and sign this petition. The Firefighters of New Orleans are going through a struggle with those in the City’s Administration and some of those in the City Council over the Firefighters' Pension Fund. Mayor Mitch Landrieu appears to feel that the men and women of the New Orleans Fire Department are greedy and incapable of handling their own finances. The Mayor has refused to pay money that is owed to the firefighters and it appears his only solution is to try and take over their fund, which could effectively ruin the pensions and retirement of thousands of families. These attempts tarnish the view of a highly trained and skilled workforce that comprises the New Orleans Fire Department, along with allegations that the firefighter’s pension is going to harm the City. However, some of the decisions the Mayor has made is what led to the mismanagement of the City's funds and has pushed the City into this financial burden. With this petition you simply show Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the members of the New Orleans City Council that you support the New Orleans Firefighters. Signing this petition demonstrates that you believe that the men and women who devote their time and life protecting the citizens and property of New Orleans are dedicated workers that deserve support from the City’s elected officials. Thank you for your support.
