About Last Night’s Mayoral Debate

 

 

If you missed it when it was originally posted on Facebook a few weeks ago, besides being totally disgusted with the mayor’s smug and condescending gaslighting during the debate, especially about public safety, I provided my breakdown of the mayor’s “Defund the Police” efforts.

After he was elected, the mayor barely lifted a finger to get the police force up to the 1059 sworn police officer compliment that is provided for in the budget. By keeping the staffing level suppressed, he was able to 1) keep police officers off the streets and 2) instead spend millions of dollars on other things besides the salaries of police officers. That is just one component of his defund the police efforts. There are others discussed in the commentary.
