F.O.P Pickets Anderson City Hall
12.10.12Filed Under: ECI News
Hundreds showed up as the Fraternal Order of Police held an “informational picket” outside Anderson City Hall early Thursday evening to oppose the planned layoff of seven police officers in January.
That picket was held just before the Anderson City Council was scheduled to begin deliberating a $63.2 million budget for fiscal 2013 proposed by Mayor Kevin Smith.
In addition to the Police Department cuts, 20 jobs are at stake in the Anderson Fire Department. The council is expected to adopt the budget at its 5 p.m. Oct. 23 meeting at the City Building.
