IS THIS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY OUR POLICE BUDGET IS A RIDICULOUS $146 MILLION?



Today's Waterloo Region Record carrys the following story "Police pitch 3.65% budget increase". Last year the regional police budget was $140 million which was a four percent increase from the previous year. This year they want $146 million. That said Tom Galloway, the Police Board Chair, is counter suggesting a miniscule reduction of $450,000 from the proposed $6 million increase Waterloo Regional Police are looking for. Keep in mind that allegedly 92% of the budget is for salaries and benefits. That is clearly where cuts need to be made but instead they are discussing $20,000 in improved lunches for prisoners out of a $146 million budget. . For the love of God give them decent lunches but start trimming either employee numbers, benefits, salaries or all three. This pensioner sure as hell can't afford neverending tax increases and neither can most others.
