the force has gone from 687 down to 607 and they are now saying they can't do their jobs? That's complete bullshit. Put the donuts down and get back to work, slackers. They could start by transitioning the spokeswoman to street duty.

When budget election times come, government officials often...
(No, very often)
(No, almost always)
(No, always)
identify the budget cuts as police, fire, water/sewage, and football.

Our city does that, but then continues to give the local Chamber of Commerce over $100 K each year. And coincidentally the CofC takes credit for putting up flower baskets each summer on the street lights in the business area.

No, I'm not the least bit cynical.
