THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
As a general rule, should Gilroy police officers be paid significantly more than Gilroy firefighters?
Yes: 6 No: 6
■ No. There should be no ‘general rules’ as far as compensation for public employees is concerned.
■ YES, since being a cop is a daily life threatening job.
■ No their pay should be comparable.
■ No. This is a small town, not San Jose or San Francisco. When there is danger here, it’s just as grave for both.
■ Yes. However, another way of putting it is: firefighters should be paid less than police.
■ Yes. Police officers are put in danger more often than firefighters. How much more is up for debate.
■ No. It would not be right to say one is more important than the other through a significant pay differential.
