[RP TownTalk] Discussion of fuel use by Riverdale Park Town Police

[Cranky old Coot]

Jenna, Alice, Marita and all,
While you have your sharp pencils out, play with the pros, cons and cost 
of this idea.
I was listening to liberal public radio and heard that some area 
counties are assisting county employees to buy homes in the county. This 
of course gets county employees, fire and police in the community and 
therefore "invested" in the community they serve. It also helps get the 
foreclosed homes off the market helping the county tax base by putting 
the house back on the tax rolls and raising the value of the rest of the 
neighborhood homes.

Well why not here in Riverdale Park? For all the reasons above AND I 
know if one of the towns cars, with all those lights on top, sat in the 
driveway next door to me, instead of being empty, I would feel more 
secure. Besides you could apply the gas money saved to the cost of the 
assistance.  With the cost of gas the town may break even! ;-)

Besides helping responsible, employed people move into the community 
gives you more point than goring someone else's ox for a few tax nickels.
