Enough is Enough!

All the people willing to pay that should consider getting a personal car. I bought my car new and the car payment is less than 227 a month. Seems a little senseless to pay a car payment out of pocket on a work vehicle does it not?

Stop complaining about how much the cars cost, you STILL dont take into account that you dont pay the insurance pemium, you dont pay the maintenance, and you dont pay the purchase price of a vehicle that you are allowed to use at your whim. You have the option to work overtime FOR CASH,and yet you still complain. You can get greatly reduced monthly rent prices from apartment complexes, yet you STILL COMPLAIN. Is there no end to the whining?

Can you do NOTHING but complain? Beating a dead horse, you all have already (long ago) deemed yourselves above the law, and you have taken advantage of the take home cars for years. I am not vouching for the mayor, but DAMN you all are a bunch of whiny crybabies. I have seen some of the most ignorant banter coming from some of you "heroes", such as prodding all cops to either ticket and/or everyone for everything, to prodding cops to do NOTHING at all, no tickets, NO arrests, no matter how bad the criminal is.

You wanna park the cars, fine. Through whatever statements are made in interviews, i have yet to get anything from Turner as far as a source of a study that veifies the benefit of take home cars outweighs the cost.

By the way, WLKY failed to mention a LOT of information, one such tidbit in the comparison of zipcodes with prospect, is how far removed geographically the zipcode 40059 is from the rest of the county, as well as the fact that that zipcode is far more likely to be able to afford quality home monitoring systems than much of the rest of the county. Simply put, they have lower crime not because of the cop cars parked down the street, but because they can afford to protect themselves better.
