"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.

A spider that was trying to get them healthcare and a better education and more rights as workers.

The problem is that people can't eat empty words, and it doesn't matter what a lawmaker says they support if they don't do anything meaningful to make it reality.
