This is the first Newsletter that I have written since the November 2, 2021, Election. It is not about the past Election. It is about the Pay raises for the Police Department. In order to get a complete picture and to help make an assessment of what Mayor and Council approved more information is needed. Mayor and Council should provide the Residents and taxpayers with the financial impact that the raises with have on them.
