'Slap in the Face' -- Austin's COVID Hazard Pay Excludes First Responders

KXAN reports that the Austin city council has approved hazard pay for most city employees who had to work in offices during the COVID crisis. But that hazard pay specifically excludes first responders such as EMS, firefighters, and police officers.

All three have faced extremely long hours due both to the pandemic and the protests/riots that have occurred in the city since the beginning of June.

I realize Austin's misleaders hate the police, but EMTs and firefighters too?

Democrats are no longer exploiting first responders as a political prop.  Their usefulness has ended.
