Its strange that the media is only talking about what happened with overtime last winter and singling out a few people instead of looking at the big picture. The Metro open data portal says there was $2.5 million in overtime pay in July, August and September. That would be $10 million by the end of the 2018 budget year at that pace, which would be $3 million more than what the department spent in the last budget year. That's a 40% increase over last year.
