My question is: How the heck are they 6 million dollars over budget?
I’m sure the boy wonder mayor gave them a more than adequate budget to work with in the first place./extreme sarcasm
(Guess I answered my own question.)
It’s a combination of both.
Rybak (aka Shallow RT)and the City Council chronically underfund police and fire.
I hate to bash the police department because they’re the only thing standing between this city really turning into an armpit. But there are a number of officers who seem to be chronic accumulators of overtime. These officers aren’t necessarily in high-profile positions that would require lots of OT.
