Reply to comment by yaychristy in Full Police Officers Salaries For The State of NJ. by vakr001

You can do both. It’s not one or the other. There is so much waste with how these small towns can exist like duplicate town halls, council, fire department, EMS, and sanitation. There is a town that exists in North jersey that is only one city block. That is just ridiculous.

the funny thing is that a lot of those small towns do shared courts - but refuse to consider sharing things like public works

if you think about it, why would you share public works or police departments or city services- it is a huge cash cow for the town workers with very little work actually done.

yes. or if they do the work, they make sure to stretch it to as long as possible so they can milk it even more. like redoing roads or fixing broken street lights or signs.

one of my parents works for a town

needs a lightbulb replaced, calls down to public works

"can't you do it yourself?"

"No, it's a fluorescent bulb"

"what if we drop off the bulb can't you just do it"
