Guild out of control

Sat., Jan. 18, 2014

I have never even considered writing a letter to any public spokesman. But this police guild is out of control.

This guild (union) has been waving a big stick for too long. Seventy percent of us voted to see the workings of this bunch, and they have showed we don’t have a chance to see how this is run. They ran off a decent police chief from Virginia. They get paid for disciplinary leave and get pay incentives for higher education.

Here’s an incentive: Mess up, get fired like the rest of us.

Mayor David Condon should get on the job and quit being bullied by this gang.
