Exactly. I had the opportunity to talk to Naheed Friday evening and this is exactly what happened. He didn't say anything about the police themselves and in fact just asked about the information. He asked why we have a budgetary increase of 23% and an increase in officers by 11%. That question is just a question! Elected officials at all levels should be asking questions and getting information. To me that is one of their primary roles.
