New York adjusts budget plan – Ladder 8 expected to survive.

Big ups to Luke Crisalli for the link – the NY press is quoting inside sources on an adjusted budget plan for New York City, which looks like it will spare the teachers and 20 firehalls – including ladder 8 where Ghostbusters was partially filmed – originally set to be cut.

It’s not all cheers however – the city is sparing the proposed cuts by spreading the layoffs out across all the city departments. Hard to get too excited when people are going to lose their jobs.

Read / watch the whole story here.

    Such fantastic news. Steve Buscemi will be glad to hear it. Today he just increased his coolness quotient ten-fold in my book.

    This is great news for the firehalls and schools, however sad if jobs are still going to be cut though, im going to NY in sept, so cant wait to see hook & ladder 8, and would be cool to meet some of the guys there too! Nice to see people power has prevailed ! They,re the best the beautiful, they’re only FIREFIGHTERS!
