St. Louis Metro

[Juice]

This might be an odd question, and I don't mean any offense by it; are the refurbished rigs a sign of the economy or a cost cutting measure by the department vs. buying all new replacement trucks? I thought I read that it was more of a "saving money" move, and not, not being able to afford new replacements. I'm only curious because most cities the size of St. Louis you don't see refurbing rigs and putting them out for another round of frontline service, but there's no reason not to if it's cheaper (obviously it is) and the reburshing is done right.



Thanks,

Trav!
