Keeping The Faith

An article in the Orlando Sentinel today notes the arrests of 34 suspects in the McLaren Circle neighborhood of Kissimmee. The arrests come at the end of a nine-month undercover investigation of violence and drug dealing. In the arrests, guns and bullet proof vests were also seized. All the WayneWho staff can say is "Great Job!"

Sometimes we have to all remember that while the day to day whimpering and finger pointing between politicians and money hungry special interest groups can make the whole area seem on the verge of completely imploding, the hard working people of Osceola County keep everything going. In this case it is the hard working law enforcement officers who do their jobs with pride and honor. While some politicians will pat themselves on the back for their wisdom in all things pertaining to law enforcement because they once spent a night at a Holiday Inn Express, we shouldn't lose focus on those who really do the work. They, after all, are what makes this community work.

Yes, our police, firefighters and public work employees continue to do an outstanding job.

This even though the employees of Kissimmee got a total of $550 raise this year($319 after taxes. Less than a dollar a day increase.

St Cloud and Osceola employees got a 2% & 7% COLA/Merit raise, respectively.
