Welcome back to the Fiscal Firehouse, where we connect national politics to the realities of the fire service. Today we’re unpacking Donald Trump’s idea of “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping proposal that promises to combine major reforms into one package. We’ll look at what it could mean for firefighters, especially the push for no tax on overtime pay and how that impacts our paychecks, families, and future security.
