THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Should the city of Gilroy make cuts elsewhere in order to pay for more police officers?
Yes: 1 No: 10
â– NO! not just to fund more police. All of the departments are going to have to take a hit with the budget that I hear being talked about. Maybe some training expenses and the like need to be looked at a little more carefully. Maybe some administrative procedures can be streamlined. Can’t say I have the answers but my budget is pretty tight too!
â– No. It seems like the current staffing is sufficient for at least the short term.
â– No. Cut back on the top heavy police brass.
â– No. Moreover, I think the citizens of Gilroy should rescind fire and
police union binding arbitration and take the necessary steps to keep
Gilroy fiscally whole.
â– NO. The people who use and rely on other city services need them as much as we need police. Police do a good job in the prevention area and need to do more with less.
