Author    Post   untanglingwebs El Supremo Flint Police are reeling over news that the South Side Task force $3 million grant may be lost and they are blaming Lock and Walling. A 2 week window to fix problems with taking the officers outside of the target area is being thrown around. The city was warned to keep the officers in the target area earlier. But shortages in officers has had these officers working in the north end. If the city billed the federal government for offices that were not in the area working on task force job duties, someone higher up should be prosecuted. The prosecutors office was warned of the issue at least 2 months ago. Community officers have been used to attend council meetings depending on the officers shifts , this may be on overtime. Council members confirmed they asked the chief to assign 2 officers to council.

Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.

Look for more deficits. If there are no longer grant funds for them, and there is no money in the general fund for them, wouldn't you say it's more likely Walling will have them laid off?
