What a headline from the Green Bay Press.
1.58 million? What, will Steve Kagen take credit for this? Does anyone see a problem around the corner?
Did anyone thank the people who will be paying for their gifts?
"Gifts the keep giving
Brown County departments are relying more and more on state and federal grants to pay for new equipment, training and overtime
Press-Gazette • February 3, 2010
State and federal grants nearly doubled the cash Green Bay police used to buy equipment in 2009.
Green Bay Police Chief Jim Arts said about 93 percent of the department's $23.8 million budget covers salaries and personnel expenses. That leaves less than $2 million to pay for utilities, fuel and new equipment. The $1.58 million in grants received last year equaled about 6.7 percent of the department's budget.
Grant money helped pay for radios, Tasers, video cameras and a host of other gear." Gifts the keep giving | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
