“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.

    When I was younger Democrats got me affordable healthcare when I had none.

    My vote for them directly resulted in me getting affordable healthcare.

    If you bothered to look up the Democrat’s voting history, they consistently vote in favor of legislation that benefits average Americans.

      I’m glad it worked out for you. It didn’t work out for most and this country is still known worldwide for its rate of medical bankruptcies.

      The history doesn’t matter when you need action now and all they offer is sternly-worded letters.
