Thompson has worked as a firefighter for the City of Glendale for 26 years. Recently, state Sen. Paul Boyer, R-Glendale, had scheduled a meeting with Glendale officials and Thompson to discuss the issue. Disappointed @MayorWeiers and Glendale city manager Kevin Phelps cancelled at last minute on meeting to discuss Glendale illegally denying firefighter cancer claims. It also opens them up for secondary forms of cancer, Shukla said. Rather, it says that Boyer refused to meet at Glendale City Hall and “demanded” that city officials meet with him at his legislative office in downtown Phoenix.
