If the Deerfield firefighters don’t want to sacrifice a little, I’m sure there are qualified unemployed people who would be grateful for the work. I don’t have a job, a guaranteed pension or paid health insurance. However, the Deerfield commissioners voted to pass a higher tax rate to cover the city employee’s pensions and health insurance. They all should be grateful they have a job.

The value of public safety

Dear Editor:

Most vital to our society are the Police, Fire Department, and medical care. Why do the “higher ups” insist that our sheriff cut down on expenses when crime continues to worsen? We need the police more than ever. Wise up and let Sheriff Lamberti do his excellent job!

Most sincerely,

What’s up with Dunkin?

Dear Editor:

With the sudden closure of the three Dunkin Donut franchise stores, some explanation is owed to the community. The Ali family made a FORTUNE selling their products/services to the Deerfield community. Either they and/or corporate owes us an explanation.
