Little is going to change until superfluous police departments in these areas are either consolidated or simply eliminated.
How do you reduce the likelihood that a motorist will face a deadly police encounter? Reduce the number of officers on vehicular patrol.
But departments are run as semi-autonomous, patronage-disbursing fiefdoms and Chiefs wield political power. So this can't happen organically
One of Christie's priorities in NJ when he assumed office was municipal consolidation; almost totally failed, due to resistance from police
Holy shit, Christie once tried something good. Too bad he wouldn't raise the gas tax because he was running for president.
That I'm in favor of, actually -- gas tax is regressive.
it's a freakin use tax with revenue going str8 2 roads. R cig taxes that fund health care services regressive too?!?
I'd prefer raising income tax or property tax to fund infrastructure -- no inherent reason to tie road funds to gas tax.
