It's rare when somebody suggests cutting something involving the Fresno P.D. So we gotta at least give Blong Xiong some props for that - even if you don't agree with it. And hey, if you're going to start with something, grounding the annoying-ass Ghetto Bird is a pretty good place.
Remember Fresnans: It's always a mistake to read the comment section on FresnoBee.com or on any local news station's Facebook page (we forgot this before reading ABC 30's). They always read like if Ray Appleton had a show on Sirius.
UPDATE!: Here's what Councilman Xiong said today via ABC 30's Facebook page:
"Well, I'm sure you have all heard of my motions to reduce the Police Departments overtime costs and to ground the helicopter for 1 year. Those seemed to take the spot light. There were also cost savings from the City's Fire Department, Planning Department (DARM) and Employee Health and Welfare but those don't seem to get the attention of the media. My motions can save anywhere from $2-4 million of an almost $6 mil"
