Can any news media ask him that question? Inquiring minds want to hear the answer.

Firefighter entry is one thing but to run a department you need an education and an associates degree isn’t good enough!
Donald Kelly, what the hell do you know? Great leader my ___!

I think Joe Conant and Jerrold Prendergast shouldn’t get the job. It’s time to get a minority in that seat, someone THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS!

Hmmmm. if my home is burning…I don’t care your skin color…I want the best of the best coming to help me and my fam. However….and granted I don’t know the details…..if mr conant has a good record and numerous years in a firefighting position, isn’t there the possibilty his hands on experience could make him a more ideal candidate than someone who simply has a fancy degree….or are the rules only ok to bend when you can cry racist!! Behind those allowances? Thing that make u say hmmmmm
