So let me get this straight. The City Manager wants to hire a full time police chief. That chief would then look for and apply for grants to fund the police force. Now, Police Chiefs don't come cheap but grant writers do. Can't the CM think of better ways to waste the taxpayers money.
When the populace votes no, that means no. Ms Bennett would gladly pay more but not others would not. Crime is not a crisis in Creswell and a population increase in ten years time does not warrant a police increase now.
