Danville mayor proposes fire service cuts

DANVILLE – One year after adding three new police officers to city personnel, officials are proposing to cut nine firefighter positions and close a fire station.

During a city council meeting Tuesday night, Mayor Scott Eisenhauer proposed the cuts as a way to make up for a projected $335,000 gap in the city's fiscal 2008-2009 budget.
