GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay is looking to cut down on overtime and a new staffing plan is leaving a downtown fire station with no more firefighters.

Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt says a lot of departments have had to make sacrifices to balance the budget. But the fire department has consistently been over the mark on overtime.

“I think there is efficiency that can be gained by the fire department, the chief agrees with me, and I think the majority of the firefighters would agree that by re-allocating some resources we can come in with a balanced budget,” Mayor Jim Schmitt said.
