Guest Guest_Taxpayer_* Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Maybe, and that's fine, but the bulk of the money is in police and fire salaries. 70114[/snapback] At least it would be a start.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Here is what Paul had to say about the doctor: "defendant doctor on the stand for cross-examination. He is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal (high-risk pregnancy) specialist with a fifty-page-plus curriculum vitae and an international reputation. He is exceptionally intelligent and well-qualified, not to mention personable and charming," What more do you want to know about the case? D**bA**. 70201[/snapback] The facts.

Find a place to make a difference and the community will support you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a place to make a difference and the community will support you. 70257[/snapback] I did. I suggested that, if as the Mayor says, Police and Firemen are off limits, then surely we can look at other departments. I'm also not convinced that there aren't savings in the Police and Fire Departments either. There are always things around that can be scaled back. Hire an objective 3rd party consultant that specializes in this. They work on a contingency basis and are paid based on the amount of savings they find.

Do you know the names of any such consultants? As for your saying you did: you didn't. Why don't you just post your entire idea instead of making people drag it out of you a piece at a time?

KHS81 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Does anyone know if we still have a captain, lieut, 2 sargants at the police sub-station? That seems pretty excessive to me. 68934[/snapback] Most times the substation is closed. I go by there almost every day. On the rare occasion you'll see a patrol car or two parked. But for the most part the substation is dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my career, I've been involved in cost cutting initiatives and have seen that bringing in an experienced 3rd party can be very successful. I'm simply trying to offer this as suggestion in the hope that our mayor and council will look into it. Surely, they have the connections to identify someone who can do this. I also seem to recall that a NJ state auditor came in a few years back and did something similar but that the recommendations were never acted upon. Don't recall, however, whether it was done under our current mayor or a previous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS however a Sergeant assigned to the Desk, and a Patrol Officer assigned to that station EVERY DAY from 2pm-10pm If KHS81 "Never" sees anyone there i suggest he get his glasses checked.

Guest Was it because? Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 ask the mayor since he's the one who said it. 70693[/snapback] Mangin has kept oddly quiet on all those police promotions. If not for the substation, then was it just to increase salaries in the police department? Why unnecessarily spend tax dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Then why did the police insist they needed 1 captain, 1 lieutenant and 2 sergeants to open that substation? 70634[/snapback] When did the Police state that?? I'd like to hear a date and the name of the official who made that statement. Also Pete Chiccinho, and Rosa Alves were the ones who spearheaded the Substation, and insisted that it be opened... IIRC when that project started Santos wasnt Mayor, he was a freshman councilman. Santos has TONS of other sins to his name, the substation isnt one of them.
