Hey Bob, we lost five patrol officers this summer in a department of 60. We can thank our wonder school committe for that one. They couldn't get their budget passed at 2 town wide votes, so they did an end-around and stole funds from the other town departments, thus bye-bye to five guys....It was larceny over if I have ever seen it. But, here is the good news, we have brand new goal posts on the football field now, and the team is 5 & 2 so the town is better off.

I have been in touch with other department in warmer states and I feel certain that if Massachusetts gives us the big FU, they'll be happy to take me, and I can fish year 'round to boot, tough call there....

If we loses Quinn, I am screwed and so are many others. Without details and reduced OT, I'll be paying the town on Friday each week, if Cadillac gets his way. There won't be any reason to stay here in Mass any longer when I know southern departments are comprable in pay, have a lower cost of living and I can pay cash for a home when mine sells, even in this !@#$%^& market.
