I am just beside myself. I have been doing some research into the proposed 1.7 mils millage that the City of Livonia police and fire have been pushing that will be on the August ballot. They are claiming financial hardship and that they need more money otherwise the city's police department will suffer because of a budget shortfall. However they have never stated what the extra money will be used for or what they intend to buy. So that really concerned me.
Now I come to find that the PD spent early this year over 300, 000 dollars on renovating their firing range. Ordinarily this wouldn't upset me but I also found documents on line that show the police already renovated the same firing range 9 years ago to be state of the art to the tune of 381, 000 dollars. I don't think the LPD need more money, I think they need a financial advisor to tell them how and what to spend their money on. Unbelievable that in this economic climate they are spending money like there is no tomorrow.
