We don't want volunteer firefighters incurring a work-related injury or death and not getting compensated, because that will drive people away.

You got a favorable surprise on the CPI. We had the first decline in the core rate in 21 years, ...

We should continue that process as long as we have the view that the underlying economy is pretty robust...and the inflation risks are skewed to the upside,

The regulatory risks of this are surely political. It's an oil and gas deal, and when the price of oil and gas are very high. They will certainly force an FTC investigation.

He's interested in being a character and not necessarily interested in his persona, and I find it very exciting to work with actors like that.

It's great to find people like that you can communicate with on an almost subconscious level.

The tragedy of these incidents must act as a stimulus for the industry to review its procedures, making sure that vehicle risks are properly controlled. Wherever possible, pedestrians and vehicles should be segregated, paying special attention to transfer stations and sorting areas. Street collection activities need to address the risks to collection staff and other road and pavement users. Using reversing aids such as mirrors, CCTV, detectors, and beacons do reduce the risks. In most public access areas, you will usually need to provide reversing assistants, their job being to help the driver and prevent or warn pedestrians entering maneuvering areas when the risks cannot be controlled adequately by other means.

I can do that and meet your budgetary requirements, ... I can never do that and keep the courthouse happy. I don't try to do that. I've not tried that for 20 years. That's going to be impossible for me to do. I don't worry about anybody but my staff nor do I come in here and complain about what somebody else is getting. If you want to pay the folks in the clerk's office $60,000, I don't care. I'm talking about one person here and trying to sustain it for one year.
