I know this is just an error that will be changed eventually, but it was funny to me. and yes.. there is a story in here... DETROIT -- The Kilpatrick administration said Wednesday that Detroit can hire an additional 100 police officers and replace 100 who are leaving without raising taxes or cutting services, because they'll get a fraction of what it pays the veteran officers they'll replace.

In budget and contract maneuvering led by Christine Beatty, who is the mayor's chief of staff and point-person on labor negotiations, Detroit plans to add about 100 cops to the roughly 2,300 officers who patrol its streets, and another 100 would replace those who are expected to quit or have retired.

The money to pay the replacements is already in the current year's budget. The city could afford the other 100, Beatty said, because of the money it will save by not paying the higher salaries of the retiring officers.

Even more money may become available as a result of an arbitration award last week that allows officers to retire after 20 years instead of 25. That ruling, according to the Detroit Police Officers Association, makes roughly 500 men and women eligible to retire.

Your choice to repeat everything three times is annoying at best. After realizing your whole damn post was like that, I skipped reading and went to the article.....which I found to be exactly the same, in it's annoying x3 format. LOL | ||

That article was hilarious. I can' even imagine what kind of coding error causes, not only every paragraph to appear 3 times, but also Kwame's photo on the side. Maybe they just really want to drive their point home! LOL | ||

Interesting, so the net increase is not 200 cops, but only 100? What about the costs of benefits? 200 cops with the same benefits costs more than 100. |
