n fairness to the other side, Pulse, the 3/4 cent earmarked sales tax has been around since 1989 but the amount is obviously not enough enough to provide for permanent staffing of additional fire fighters and police. I've suggested in another thread that, if the public favors the union staffing need position that an additional dedicated tax of another 1/4 cent or so shouldn't have that much trouble passing.

Exactly!
Why didn't the Mayor initially lead the idea of additional support for City Services. Through a tax or whatever. He's saying he's willing to do it now as an afterthought.
On Flash Point this morning he says....In one breath he says they are "separate issues". Then in the other he tells us he planned to use the "USE" tax from MAPS3 to support police and fire....in the same Flash Point he says if MAPS3 doesn't pass our Police and Fire Problems will
multiply.
Our problems are going to multiply all of the sudden now?...IF MAPS3 doesn't pass....So we definitely have a problem...
by his admission...so why hasn't he addressed it??
Geez..
