9:15 you are close. If Sheriff Layton were to stick to what he is authorized/tasked by law to do his budget would shrink. He always claims medical expenses and the need to protect the public from child molesters and sexual predators as a reason for overspending. He is responsible for no law enforcement duties but has mare than 300 squad cars. It seems that any employee that gave significant $$ to Layton's campaign gets a take home, drive anywhere in Indiana on personal off-duty business, squad car. The employees don't even have police powers off-duty (by state statute). The taxpayers are getting hosed by Layton. Maybe "Hoggie" can cut here?

Rather than to immediately call bs on this version of Mayor and his "stories" about how it is all Bush's fault (this the standard democrat issue lying sort of a thing to do) we need, I think, to see something. That would be the uncut version of the report composed by that "team tasked with completing a top to bottom review of city spending". This team was to be "headed" by former Lt. Gov. Kathy Davis-a person with some reputation. It was to be completed by "this spring". It could be posted on line so that the public could know as much as the Mayor. He, recall, campaigned on cutting spending. The public, given the sort of information that Kathy Davis would provide the public would enable the public to assist the Mayor in keeping his promises.
Missing from the story is any comment from Mr. Chuck Brewer the local establishment's sacrificial lamb.

Get out now while you can. The Public Safety Unions have large checks that Hogsett needs to cash for their support. I'm sure we will hear the screams as well from the Layton camp midway through the year about how much money they need for inmate healthcare, as that broken record seems to always be played in the summer months.

All of this with this Red Line fantasy crap going on as well, only leads the citizens of Marion County being strapped with millions in taxes in the near future.
