Five Point Five
I was reading the insert that came with our tax bill. You know the leaflet that describes where all your tax dollars go. It listed the usual money dumping places, such as waste, improvements and all other usual general items.
What caught my eye was the tax dollars paid for 'X' number of city policemen, and 5.5 federal policemen. 5.5?
Who got the half policeman? And how do they divide them? Do they divide them vertically and a half goes here and a half there? Response time may vary. Or do they divide them horizontally? Then who would get the office half and who would get the legs for the beat?
Looks like taxes and politics will always be a mystery.
