Once again B like in B and S like in S. Tara Barenok said “that this plan barely keeps pace with inflation” Wouldn’t it be nice if the police pay would barely keeps pace with inflation? It’s doesn’t. Now lets look at this thing about more cops. As I said before the Governor gave more LGA (Welfare) so we could get 71 more cops, plus the 43 cops in this budget, total 114, sound good uh!, Well it’s not. This year alone so far, we lost about 30 cops and more will be leaving us this year and next. We will be lucky to have the same amount of cops a year from now.

Safe Routes to School Program? What the hell is this? Let me guess here, someone is being paid let say $ 50.000 to head up this program and he or she will need at lease 2 asst. say at $ 20,000 ea. So that will leave $ 10,000 to tell the little kids how to walk to school in a safe way.

Demolition of vacant building, cost $ 500.000? Why not sell them and have the new owner of them do it. WOW we could save $ 500.000 and get money from the sale.

CM Betsy Hodges said “the proposed budget increase is enormous, noting that there nothing else getting that level of increase” Well CM Bull Hog. There is something that is getting that type of increase, OUR PROPTEY TAXES!
