Or in the wintertime when the windows fogged up?<br /><br />Instead, until active citizens put a stop to it, council members would make EGPD take them downtown to meetings; regional meetings whereby they got stipends for travel expenses and then turned around and billed the city for mileage.<br /><br />Can you believe active citizens had to force the Elk Grove City Council had to pass a resolution forbidding double dipping?

Maybe contracting with the County Sheriffs will be next after a few more lucrative union contracts? Maybe the Animal 'Hilton' Shelter? How about the Household Waste Transfer Station? Or, maybe the heavily subsidized Old Town entertainment district? <br /><br />So many choices, the suspense is killing me! D.J.
