CASH OR CREDIT?

The city is currently borrowing a fire laddar truck from Sellersburg. The trucks typically have a service life of 20-30 years.

Freedom of Speech would like to say: Mayor Garner, Doug England and now Jeff Gahan have each bought new fire trucks right before a re-election.

Won't  photographs of NEW Police cars and a NEW Fire truck look good on a political mailer?

Questions to our readers:

How many police cars, fire trucks and salt trucks have we purchased in the last few years?

How come last winter we couldn't afford salt, but it's important now to buy another salt truck?

If we have cash on hand why borrow $$$$$?
