About 400 elementary- and middle-school students taking part in the Shenendehowa Inventors program will display their inventions at the former Cotton Market store at Clifton Park Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Police Dept structure is the result of many years of politics and favoritism. It's so top heavy it's a joke. That Chief's comment about making 100k for nothing is true. When there are so many bosses, there is little motivation for them to do anything except look responsible and busy. Plus with all those layers of supervision there's little chance anyone at the top will be held responsible for anything when something goes wrong.
When an employer comes to negotiate a contract, they dump your pail of money on the table. It's then that the pile is divided up. Vacation, med insurance, etc. The pile doesn't increase or decrease it only gets divided up. To look at the police now and marvel at their wonderful medical benefits is moot. If they have something nice it's because that's how their pile was divided up. They could have opted for more cash pay or more vacation, etc. instead.
They were talking about consolidation and sharing 30 years ago and it's still all talk. The big stumbling block is that nobody wants to give up their throne.
It's amazing how fast the anti-gunners want to rip up The Constitution and justify their actions with phony statistics. Please read "More guns, less crime" by Lott.

Obama is a pathological liar who crafts his words to fit what people want to hear. He swore to uphold The Constitution but even that was a lie!
