City Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso is accusing members of the city’s fire department of embarking on a smear campaign to defeat her in next month’s election, She’s also accusing the firefighters of bullying her during this fall’s City Council campaign because she’s been a vocal opponent of the fire department during the city’s three-year contract battle with the firefighters’ union. “I’m being bullied by 70 men,” she said. Last week, the union criticized Councilwoman Macaluso for complaining when she and other council members weren’t notified a fire department awards ceremony was postponed — while firefighters were battling a blaze that sent three people to the hospital.
