Can someone tell me how getting rid of the village benefits me? I live in the senior housing and losing the local police would be the worst thing that happened to my community as they have done so much for us. They are the first ones here by a considerable amount of time when someone is having a heart attack or even if someone has just fallen. They have assisted us when we have been stuck in the elevator and they have gotten that loud bar to turn down the music within minutes of a call being placed. I have been the target of scams, and it is very easy to take a short stroll to the station to report it. I have lived most of my life outside the village and never recall another police agency coming to my home when I needed the rescue squad, and I could have used the help a few years ago when I lost my wife. From what I have heard the town is not committed to keeping them, so I urge anyone planning on one day getting old when you’re maybe in need of a little extra help to vote no.
