Ok, but when is there going to be consultants to weed out the corruption at the top (City Hall)??? I feel the issues go alot higher than the bottom rung city employee.How many times have the politicians started weeding out the corruption at the bottom? Maybe,just maybe,if we started at the top once, it might be effective for once. I could be wrong, who knows?

I would say the more serious issue is why a majority of this PAID trio is 2 police who just might think officers need a break a lot more than civilians do. Agreed, Keith Norman is not a labor lawyer either, and I wonder what all three of these people bring to this enterprise. I am disappointed AC would make such appointments and hope he, as all imperfect elected officials shoule be, is term-limited.

Good grief, what a big financial burden for the taxpayers, of course, weed the bad out, it is called firing them. If u have a policeman that tests positive for drugs, fire him, no second chances. if you have one that gets caught up with the hos, fire him, that is a time bomb waiting to explode and a law suit in the waiting. if you have one that gets caught sleeping at work, ok, a mistake but if it is 300am and it is quiet, hey, i can understand it, a warning, a write up whatever. its not that hard. make the punishment fit the crime.
