“Mt. Olive received a $175,000 loan from the City for the property they’re requesting the County to purchase.” WHY did the City give them a Loan so the County can buy the Property?

“The second option Mr. Barber proposed is for the County to allocate $40,000 to the Officer-In-Resident Program to match the $60,000 donated by the City. This would give $100,000 to a first home buyer and can open up future opportunities.” THAT is for EACH Home Buyer, HELL NO.

Here is a BETTER Idea……. Build Police Sub Stations in those areas where their is several Officers working out of them at all times. To save Money you can buy one of the smaller Houses, do a little renovation on it and it blends in (except for all the Cop Cars) The Bedrooms can be an Office and Interview Rooms. You will spend LESS than $250,000 per House, have more Cops in the area and the City & County can OWN IT Together. No giving Money to a Third Party.
