| Hm. Do you think the people in these crime ridden areas would rather see experienced officers on the street NOW or rookies a year from now? Something bad is already happening and it's not the Union's fault. |
| ...Also it sounds like there are currently 17 openings due to retirements - why hasn't the city filled those slots with laid off officers from other towns? $150K deficit? It seems an audit of the police budget is in order, something here doesn't add up. It's really convenient to blame it on greed and walk away, but there's much more at work here. Look at the big picture. |

Since the start of the fiscal year, he said, there have been 17 retirements and four other officers have been on military leave...{snip}...In a previous report, John P. Pranckevicius, city budget director, said when the police budget was put together for this year, it already took into account savings from four expected retirements and one full-year military leave. In addition, he said, four civilian clerks who were laid off this year have been recalled. |
| Mr. Hoover said the cost of 50 new police officers starting in March is about $1.05 million for the balance of this fiscal year. The federal grant will pay for about $650,000 of that cost, and the city will contribute $400,000. |

Christ, some guys would file a grievance if you put the toilet paper roll on backwards.
Deuce, Be safe man!! Hope you guys get what you need! |
| hmm union, can you say labor laws for the jobs without unions, they must show cause to do anything to you |
| hmm union, can you say labor laws for the jobs without unions, they must show cause to do anything to you. unions are for those who dont want to do their jobs and run and hide behind the unions, nonsense. |
| Take pride in what you do and you dont need protection from a union. They were good but now I dont see what any of them do for us. |
| Salary should be based on performance like in the real world and raises given accordingly. Hey then you would get 2 percent every year and no fight. |

| Don't get me wrong, I see the point of the union. There are jerks in the brass that would try to screw someone over |
