According to his wife, he is not even allowed to volunteer his services. And that is the issue, at the present. W
I think he should keep his position at the station as volunteer only. This may sound harsh but actually if he was under volunteer status then when he was ill, had a pressure sore or couldnt get an attendant that day it wouldnt be a big deal. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
--- Begin Message ---That was the point. It goes on all the time. Like the story says. "when it pays not to work" Jim can't even volunteer, because of the clause.

I think he is really getting a pretty good deal to receive 75 percent of his income before injured. You have to realize he looks like he was a veteran officer when he was injured ......so he was probally bringing in 40 grand or so before injury.........75 percent of that isnt bad. I think he should keep his position at the station as volunteer only. This may sound harsh but actually if he was under volunteer status then when he was ill, had a pressure sore or couldnt get an attendant that day it wouldnt be a big deal. As John mentioned which I agree on is we are all going through these same issues, and some of us would love to be able to receive 75 percent of a 40 grand salary to live on. I have much empathy for the mans situation, but hes not anyone special and this sort of things goes on everyday. ron c7 --------------------------------- Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!
