So I am understanding that City officials want to eliminate, or gut an efficiently run, effective and necessary local court and its probation department to save (maybe) a million dollars.
And it appears they are really doing this because they need a fall guy to cover yet another irresponsible fiscal decision by our mayor and finance department. This time, it is an overpriced, oversized new jail that is so poorly run that its costs are already out of control.
Our mayor seems hell bent on a course to (literally) tear this city apart and bankrupt it.
Please, my elected officials, stop trying to simply bluster and cover up your mistakes, and let’s face the real issues squarely and honestly.
