Pennsylvania Assistant Fire Chief Becomes Casualty of 2004 Budget
Meadville is losing assistant fire chief Charlie Anderson because of budget cuts.
The move to eliminate the assistant fire chief is a cost savings measure to help with Meadville`s 2004 budget.
City council passed an eight million-dollar budget in December.
The city was facing a one million-dollar deficit but council closed the gap by cutting seven positions, and asking employees to contribute to their health insurance for the first time.
