Our snitches tell us that the meeting itself was pretty standard fare. Erlanger officials bashed interior decorator-extraordinaire Boss Arlinghaus’ Kenton County Emergency Dispatch and promised to do everything they possibly could do to contain their escalating costs. All fairly predictable.
The funny part actually took place after the meeting. It began with officials from a few different Cities chatting about what they may do next regarding Emergency Dispatch Services.
Proving the old saying, “There is no such thing as a stupid question” isn't always accurate, Martin approached these officials and asked, “How do you guys pay for these dispatch Services?”
One amused official replied with the obvious answer, “We put it in our City budget.”
Without missing a beat, a second official stuck a sarcastic verbal dagger in Martin’s heart, saying, “But that won’t work for you. You haven’t even gotten a budget passed!”
Our snitches tell us that Martin put his head down and walked away from the belly-laughing group.
You are getting (EXACTLY) what you voted for.
