Metro Council members offer plan to reduce LG&E fee for new police officers

You need to do research before posting. Ninety officers won't get LMPD anywhere near the current authorized strength. Seventy are retiring. LMPD will have an additional 20-24 officers more than it has now. Also, there was no approved tax. What was approved by the Council was the ability for Metro to charge LG&E a fee to use land owned by Metro in order to do LG&E business. LG&E of course will try to get approval from the public service commission to pass this fee on to its customers. Not the fault of Metro-this multi million dollar profit corporation should pay a fee to our government to use gov owned land. It's the public service commission that is the "bad guy".
