Concerned Citizen Responds:

With all due respect, I apologize for not being clear.

It's not about tasers over RVs. It's about the coding of the funds.

The tasers should be doled out as service weapons, which would come out of the same budget that you get your guns, vests, etc. that would continue to be distributed as new officers come on board. The tasers are not a "one time" expenditure. It would be an ongoing expense.

It is my understanding that the seized funds are for things such as undercover operations and the like. If that fund is depleted, and funding was needed to run an under cover op, the expense would have to go before the board for approval.

Again, the issue is not as much "getting" the equipment (especially after the grand jury) but which "pot" the money will come from.
