2010 Total NAPD Budget Estimate - $6,727,400.00
Source: Submitted 2010 Budget NAPD Chief Crabtree
Freedom Of Speech would like to ask why:
Line item 4324 - telephone was $22,000 in year 2007 and now in 2010 Budget, it increased to $40,000?
One day soon, we hope to have a Mayor who has the guts and courage to stand up to the New Albany Police Department and renegotiate their "sweetheart deal" contract.
We also agree with Council member Keith Fetz of Jeffersonville, that all police officers should meet reasonable "fitness standards and have open public negotiations!"
Mr. Mayor if you push this annexation, where will you get the money to provide police protection for the new annexed area?
Our final thoughts:
It's time Mayor England earns the money we are paying him. It's time for him to stop making excuses why these two Department (Police & Fire) cannot sacrifice, and live on a budget just like the rest of us.
To Mayor England,
It's time you show real leadership as a mayor or resign!
Remember folks, 85 cents of every dollar in our General Fund now goes to the New Albany Police and Fire Department, and now England wants our council to give them $2 million more and claims they're both underfunded!
What a CROCK of BS, England is afraid of what might come out if the Police and Fire Department follow through and do a forensic audit!
Right...Dougie?
