This just in:
NLR Mayor Patrick Hayes has told the officers & fire that their budget for 20007 is $0 because they opposed the ballpark and other projects the Mayor has his eyes on. The officers and fires money for equipments sits in the General Fund account and the money is disbursed. Well this year, he says NO. So looks like the officers and fire will not get new vehicles, trucks, radios, guns, pepper spray, handcuffs and anything else that falls into this category. How are they supposed to fight the crime? I guess the ballpark, tug boat and Big Dam Bridge will take care of all that for the city. PLEASE HELP THE OFFICERS FIGHT THIS!!! They need all the help they can get. He has also cut 20 vacant positions in the department. They are already short as it is and now he wants to cut those positions from ever being filled. NLR is looking at a ratio of about 1:1000 (1 officer per 1000 citizens). Michael has already had to fight for his life in the past week and it is only going to get worse. He has cut the positions due to financial reasons. No kidding! He gets what he wants, but no one else does. Someone tried to break into our vehicle with the patrol car in the driveway. The criminals know that the officers cannot do anything because they are all alone. Write a letter to the Mayor. Help us fight this and get the word out.
