The cops said it best. “It’s hard for police officers to take the current budget situation seriously when millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted on things like high-priced, new age consultants teaching city workers how to "say sorry" or to train city workers on how to create a basic word document,” said Steve Slack, president of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association. While San Jose Fire Fighters and police officers are being asked to do more with less, the City continues to waste millions on consultants. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—the budget must prioritize boots on the ground. San Jose residents deserve a city that can respond when it matters most. It’s time to get serious. #FundPublicSafety #SanJoseFire #SanJosePolice #IAFFLocal230 #SafeSJ #StopTheWaste https://sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-police-and-fire-unions-want-reserve-funds-to-fill-vacancies/ (fb)
