Chief Schultz  Suspended and Sergeant Beckett Fired for being Tea Party Members

 

On October 20, 2010 Police Chief  Jack Schultz was put on 10 days unpaid suspension at which time he will be terminated. This is a man that has served this city for twenty years and acts as a fatherly figure to his community while keeping us safe.

 

Sergeant John Beckett has Proudly & Bravely served his community for over nine years and operates as a protector and referee of the law instead of a small town speed trap cop as the mayor has publicly announced he wants in the new police department.

 

These are the sole actions of Mayor Pete Yoho and are being done against the will of the majority of the city council.

If this is in fact true, not only did the mayor stomp REAL hard on his own crank, he's going to be singlehandely responsible for increasing the tax burden on the citizens due to the very LARGE check the town is going to have to scratch defending itself and compensating the chief.

Yes, I'm aware Texas is a "right to work" state, but that doesn't necessarily apply to public employees.

Sure sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen to me.

WOW!!! Now, can the state do this legally? I don't think they can.
It seems politics is the center of everything these days. What side you vote for, be it left or right, should have NO say whether you can work for a certain job or not. I find this outright sickening!

I can see a smackdown coming of epic proportions
