Anyways a little article today from my neighborhood and the local government which references a little rant of mine above: Audit reveals Henrico's top overtime spenders - NBC12 News, Weather Sports, Traffic, and Programming Guide for Richmond, VA | |
I know Henrico has grown over those 7 years and maybe the police, fire departments, etc... have not hired enough new people to handle the extra work load. It could also be a case that paying over time is cheaper then hiring a few new people.
