Anything less than that is approval of what staff did. Without consequences, nothing will change.

It's like passing all these gun laws to "reduce crime" and then not enforcing them. You may feel good, but have accomplished nothing.


Carcassman, that is an excellent statement!! I agree completely, and have expressed that to the Commission along with the need to have all future negotiations the department is engaged in overseen by an independent method!

I hope you've sent that statement to the Commission with a cc to the Director and Ron Warren! Without a lot of public input and frankly, outrage the path to least resistance will be taken. WE, THE STAKEHOLDERS MUST HOLD THE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE THROUGH THE COMMISSION! And in order to do that, we MUST let the Commission know our position.

Thank you for all the hard work you do, and for being INVOLVED!!
