Rats Leaving A Sinking Ship?

All of the official budget stuff is up on the Finance website. It really is the budget - it's actually more than what was approved by the Council by in June. And it is very, very interesting, for example, why is LMPD budgeted for a helicopter mechanic with no helicopter? It can be used to pinpoint issues and make specific open records requests.

If all that was asked for was the budget, they did give what was asked for. You have to be very specific with such requests.

Think about what you want to know, and then imagine what document will reflect that information - that's how you do it.

Did you know that LMPD was only budgeted for THREE recruits this year? No kidding, read the LMPD section of the budget.
