Abramson's lordly ways

I brought up the informercial idea and I REALLY think it would work. Get good people to be our speakers and bring up the points that everyone suggests! True... that most officers don't live in the crime ridden areas of town HOWEVER apartment complexes (which are near subdivisions that the citizens live in) do generate problems and that is why they get free or reduced cost for living there. I live pretty far out and me and my car are well known so the neighbors just come to me with their problems instead of waiting for a beat car to fight traffic and take the curves of the roads to get back here (if there are enough officers working to make a low priority call). Usually it is at least a 20 to 30 minute response time to get out here especially at rush hour. We need to point out that since the merger we haven't had a cost of living raise.......tell them what we have gotten which is not much! Explain that like them we are now paying more for our health insurance......our only perk left is the car.........and it helps us as much as it does them! We don't mind paying what we pay now we just want the Mayor to leave us alone. And of all times for him to do this, he chooses to do this at Christmas which is cold hearted for sure! This can work.......it needs to be done!

I know that the cars are not IN the contract but they are listed as an economic benefit
