City Lays Off K9

My dept has layed off 5 employees since 2008 and we haven't had a K-9 since I've been here. I work for a county and you would think a k-9 unit would be on the to do list since not one dept in our county has a dog.
Sorry that more officers are losing their jobs when it's the last place people need to be layed off at.

How about laying off the high priced council members or city officials instead? With some officers and trash collectors being laid off, who's left to "take out the trash?"

Laying off that many people, especially in sensitive jobs must make the citizens there feel like they should be armed to the teeth, that is how I would feel. And now that the drug pos's know this they will be increasing their numbers, greatly.

The city need to stick up for the "underdogs." Sad

In all honesty, who didnt see that the big economic bubble would burst? these financial "planners" are supposed to do what is best for the city (or their govt agency) and supposed to be financial wizards....everything is cyclical, the economy always goes up and down; they should have been able to foresee a possible burst and put money into secure investments; and not spent like crazy when times were so good......hopefully this decade will be a lesson for eveyone (unlikely, americans have a tendency to forget)...

most of all, it is so sad when they cut police and show they are willing to sacrifice safety for the public before evaluating all of the social programs that are abused

This is what our city it looking like they just spent 3 mil on new baseball fields, but then they went broke saying they where looking into layoffs and extended leave unpaid to save the budget. But to make things worse they are also building new parks and a new fair grounds.
