@ LackOfCommonSense… I’m neither angry nor hateful. But I do enjoy exposing frauds and political hacks. I’ve had the good fortune to have been closely involved with both the Democrat and Republican Party’s apparatuses, and I can spot them a mile away.
Nice try at projection though.
Mr. Lyle,
You really should consider getting some help before your hatred and anger erupts into a more physical form.
@Edward- Amen!!
As expected, the two Pro-Hamas Progressives (Pizza Boy and Porter) confirm their complete disdain for Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and First Responders in general.
Clearly, Pizza Boy and Porter want everyone stoned and stupid, and support killing innocent babies at-will. Who needs contraception and responsibility when you can just use an icepick, right you two?
Don’t buy into their “anti-tax” charade either. The Hamas Duo of Dopes only vote against them because they know the votes are there to pass them anyway.
@David Hawkins-It’s not about being Fancy. It’s the cost of BidenInflation for the current technology required to fight crime. It’s impossible to be ahead of the criminals with outdated software, equipment, and facilities.
Just make sure you let the People know that THEY are Voting weather or not to Double the city Commissioners Salaries.
The Police Headquarters does NOT have to be that fancy. You might be able to trim the Budget by $30 Million if you change a few things.
Your going to spend $42 Million to find a Fix to to kill Red Tide and Algal Blooms without harming the Waters and Environment . Here is a Thought, knock it down to $25 Million Tax Free and award it to the first Team that Succeeds. You might get a lot more Companies and Groups working on it if they stand a chance to win a big Tax Free Pay Out.
