Open Letter by Alderman Meyer on Firemen Pay Increase

He argues Bridgeport’s wealth supports fair property taxes, contests claims of revenue shortfall, and asserts firefighters deserve higher pay for dangerous, around-the-clock duty. Meyer says the vote should reflect justice and the city’s example as a model employer.
