FASNY Firefighter's Home Needs Everyone's Help!

The Assembly Insurance Committee needs to HEAR OUR 80,000+ voices from across the state and VOTE NO on taking funding away from our Firefighter's Home!

Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Queens) is bringing a bill he sponsors (A 7160/S 6269) to a vote in the Assembly Insurance Committee ** THIS WEDNESDAY ** that would TAKE FUNDING currently allocated for the Firefighters' Home in Hudson and direct it to be paid to >> NYS Professional Firefighters Association! <<.

The Firefighter’s Home would **lose $700,000** in funding under this proposal. This is UNACCEPTABLE and incredibly insulting to the brave men and women serving their communities in volunteer fire departments. The Firefighter’s Home was created in 1892 by volunteer fire organizations as a place for indigent firefighters as a refuge of last resort. It started as a working farm and eventually evolved into a skilled nursing facility.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The Firefighter’s Home does NOT receive any Medicare/Medicaid money and it NEEDS this funding. Volunteer firefighters save our state BILLIONS of dollars annually all while putting their lives on the line to serve their communities despite receiving none of the salary, health benefits, or retirement benefits that paid professional firefighters receive – and yet this proposal wants to STEAL money away from our Firefighter’s Home!!

We need all FASNY members (and non-FASNY members!) to help make sure that all members of the Assembly Insurance Committee HEAR OUR 80,000+ voices from across the state and VOTE NO on this egregious money grab. Even if you aren't a FASNY member, you can still let our legislators know you aren't in agreement with this either!! The more voices, the better outcome - please help!! Link is below ...
