Elections are coming soon and we must look to who will be the best to serve the county. I know we would like it to revolved around the police department but we need to look at what is best for the county.
I think Mr. Ellis will support us in the way that is best for the county to survive. We sure do not want to end up like Atlanta. He is supportive to the police , and he does not want anything in return for this support. We must look at what is being requested by our current Chief.
Bolton wants to increase the budget by 81 million dollars in five years for the police department. This will not happen unless a large tax increase is passed. If you lived in DeKalb would you want more tax increase? The commissioners want to give us a raise and they will because they know it is required to keep and recruit new officers.
The best thing will occur is Vernon will not control the police department.
Just think about it.

"CITY OF DUNWOODY"
Well from my sources the Dunwoody Police Department will be staffed by 35-40 officers most of which will be recruited from within the DeKalb Police Department, salary you ask....so far according to my inside source patrolman will be started at $43,000 but get this...the city manager...how about $340,000!!! I will keep you all posted.

Response to Fly on the wall:
Fly, please do some research before you consider and promote Ellis as PD friendly.
If you google, Ellis & Boyer you'll find and article in the AJC from 3/20/07...I believe they are both quoted as saying they need more information in order to fund the PD. That was more than a year ago. The same quote was made at the last BOC when funding the tasers. As if the Grand Jury findings weren't enough. My point is, if you follow closely enough it is quite clear who supports the PD and who doesn't.
My mistake, the Ellis & Boyer rebuff was not on the ajc, but WXIA.
