That can be changed in a year and a few months. Vote out Borgo and certainly there is no one that in his or her right mind you extend Gibson's employment. And frankly, a new Mayor has the power to retain or remove the police chief as well.

So does this mean the cops will stop pulling people over that are not speeding and say they are speeding? That has happened to me twice now.

$91,000 a year to supervise 4 people is a little two much.

The Village Administration and Village Board sure have NO PROBLEM throwing around the peoples' money - wouldn't you agree? Now that is two police chiefs (babk 2 back) getting too much pay. And when will this fellow be purchasing a house in town to help soak up some of the taxation?

The town has to have a Po-Po chief, so it's not like that money is wasted. If he is only making 91,000 that is pretty low for a Police Chief.

Your numbers are slightly off. Conniption Fitz made $98,000 a year to "supervise" 9 full time officers. And actually, was little if any supervision. The idiots that needed discipline were allowed to operate with impunity and the decent officers were constantly threatened with discipline for not toeing his line, which seemed to fluctuate like the tide. Thank God he's gone. In like a lion and out like a lamb too. He left nothing to be proud of and the dept. is worse off now than ever. That's what you get when your leadership style is one of 'divide and conquer' and you reward and value loyalty to yourself over competency. He was a completely uselss chief and will not be missed. Hopefully the new guy recognizes the idiots and doesn't play the Barker-Fitz favorites game. We'll see. Fitz, happy trails you pompous, arrogant, self centered a$$. EPIC FAIL on your part.
