NM governor signs bill for PTSD for fire fighters to have coverage with their dept/employer.
More interesting is the fact they finally admit one agency has a problem with old radio equipment and buying parts to replacements off eBay.
This is VERY common in New Mexico unfortunately as I could name more than 2 hand fulls of towns or small cities or counties using auction surplus, ebay, online refurbs, parts from ebay due to pencil pushers cutting back monies for communications over the years.
The part on Albuquerque and radio monies is in the bottom. This may be the boost they needed to get the new phase 2E system they have been wanting as many I know there feel it is needed in communications, LE, Fire.
That said they have been also wanting VHF, 7/800 multi band for while and I think it'll happen as the 17 million will add to current funding to get the ball rolling on the new system they have wanted to go for.
Governor approves PTSD measure for firefighters
