Some of our city council members must have been drinking at DFL Senator Higgins office. Some of our council members feel as though Police Chief McManus should answer to them as oppose to the mayor. That is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard of. We brought him her to be chief we didn't vote our council members in to be chief. McManus is free from having to make political decisions because of the way our charter is set up and personally I like it like that. When I see one of our council members put on a blue uniform and chase down some drug dealers, or get into a fight with someone who doesn't want to be arrested. Then maybe I will consider allowing them to have control over the chief. I am just sick of some of our council members who feel as though they are setting of Mount Olympus and the rest of us are just flunkeys. City council leave the chief alone let him do his job. If you really want to help him find the department more money so he can do his job. If something ever happens in our beloved city I wonder if our Fire Department and Police Department have the resources needed to protect us.
