One Last Heist Before He Goes

Deputy Chief Loschiavo (you remember, he’s the one with $75,000 taxpayer-owned teeth?) officially retired on 3 January 2009. Here we are sixty days later (so far) and what do we find?

From the Stratford Police Union Website:

The headline read “Education paying off in Stratford”. So what does the Mayor say? It’s the police overtime that is the problem. His solution to the problem is to hire four new officers at a total cost of $400,000 of pay and benefits to save $500,000. Now you have to [...]
