Has Frank Blackley been with the Wilmington Fire Dept. his whole career? What kind of educational background does he have? Will he have the support of the firefighters? Maybe he could be the candidate promoted from within that is capable of leading the department in the direction that it needs to go. I agree that Sterling's performance has been less than desirable since he has been here. The funny thing is that when it comes to pay raise time, he always gets a healthy one while so many other city employees who deserve it do not.
