The caption in this morning's Hernando Times article read, "Purchasing goodies is not in the new police chief's job description". For those of you that did not read this article, it related to candy needed for the city council members to throw to the children in this morning's Christmas Parade. Since the city council has been pushing this new public-private partnership, what was wrong with them opening up their pocketbooks to buy several bags of candy for the children instead putting their hands out to private business? This "candy" is used by the city council as a way to ingratiate themselves with the public, so you would think they would have loaded up on these sweet treats.
The new police chief for the city of Brooksville stated in this article that his responsibilities were to provide security, drive the mayor in the lead car and keep the parade moving at an acceptable pace and not provide candy for the children like the previous chief, Ed Tincher. Turner was also adamant that he would not wear a Santa suit in the parade. Since he didn't wear the Santa suit and pooh-poohed the duty of buying candy for the children, did anyone notice if he dressed for the occasion by putting on an Ebenezer Scrooge outfit?
