City stops buying Tahoes for cops - Chicago Sun-Times



From credit cards to gas guzzlers, that former Mayor of ours really dragged us taxpayers over the coals.

I've always pondered why the police department had those vehicles when they are no earthly good when our famous winters hit. Two-wheel drive SUV's in this city? Front wheel drive vehicles, I could understand. But rear-wheel? Winter? Chicago? Chevy and Ford make great, economical, four-wheel drive SUV's. One would think that former Mayor of ours would be inclined to shop around? NOT! What he's doing, is just laughing, and spitting in the face of us taxpayers. You just can't help but feel for our current Mayor. I'm betting once he went through the books, his brain went from stunned, appalled, to WTF!

When you look at the college degrees required for holding certain jobs in this city, it really makes a person wonder, why isn't common sense apart of the curriculum when attending such institutions? When I found out these vehicles were not four wheel drive, I just simply thought, Boy! That was stupid. I'm also betting many police officers thought the exact same thing.

Thanks former Mayor for yet again, dragging us taxpayers over the coals.
