Firefighters don't want Giuliani!

I know it's Fox, but.......

"It also attacks Giuliani's devotion to fallen firefighters, arguing that the changes in the cleanup operation followed the recovery of millions in gold and silver from Ground Zero. The reversed course shows Giuliani "valued money and gold … more than the lives and memories of those lost."

1. Why would they?

He knew what was coming and moved his HQ out of dangers way, then let them die in a power grab.

2. It's not just firefighters who hate Giuliani. Cops don't like him either.

My husband is a retired NYPD cop, who was still on the job on 9/11 and worked at the site afterwards. He is also a Republican and hates Hillary Clinton. However, he has said on numerous occasions that he would vote for Hillary if it were a choice between her and Rudy. So deep is his distaste for Rudy ('n Judi!!!)

3. Why do the police hate Rudy?

I thought that they were very close to him.
I understand about the air quality scandal, but what else is there?

5. I believe that it is mostly salary contract related..

during his mayoralty IIRC the NYPD worked for quite awhile under an expired contract because of wage & benefit disputes. (Whether that's something actually to be blamed on Giuliani, I cannot say for certain.) The retired cops also had $$ issues with him re their benefits. Same with Bloomberg.

4. Agreed.

He also had to know about the EPA air quality sample results.
