The weak P.C. Liberals in charge of Santa Barbara want the homeless here for what ever reason?, but the danger to our families is just too much.

I never seen so many on our streets, why would you want to attract the homeless to move to one of the most expensive area’s in the nation?

Liberal idiots in charge!!!

Thanks Democrats..

Ditto from me what noozhawkuser wrote.

Please:

OK then, I’m finding your 04:44 PM comment much more thought-provoking than your original — and I also now realize that I (and thus perhaps others as well) read your original comment to be simply flippant and unproductive (i.e. you already knew the answer to the question) —  and I can’t be certain I was not mistaken about that; if I was, I apologize.

So I’d have three questions for anyone knowledgeable:

(1) Regarding his salary, how much higher is it than a patrol officer? I thought many / most also made six figures (though that might be including average overtime)?

(2) Please’s original question, taken sincerely, still hasn’t been answered (Art’s answer contributes, but doesn’t answer the question of what percentage of that position is devoted to public relations).

Assuming that answer is more than 50% or so:

(3) Is the position, in fact, arguably unnecessary? I.e. does it provide a sufficiently essential function that a majority of residents would demand in place of one or (1.x) additional patrol officer?
