Send us Fan MailRetired St. Paul Fire Captain Thomas Bever joined Liz Collin on her podcast. He spoke about how he fell from a ladder while fighting a fire and the unbelievable, head-scratching bureaucracy that left his career and his family in ruins.“Why does that person get gender reassignment surgery, but I got hurt in the line of duty and I can't get a shoulder operation or a knee surgery and I have to fight for that?” Bever asked. “It's become very clear to me that this state is corrupt on so many levels.” A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the Bever family: https://gofund.me/2cfca84cbSupport the show
