Called "a menace to society," by a judge Monday, Jon Bartlett was sentenced to 4 ½ years in prison, which officials said should finally get him off the Milwaukee Police Department payroll."Should?"
The creep was already convicted.
And it's still just "should"?
Just what does it take to get an "Only One" off the backs of Milwaukee taxpayers?
Because of a state law that applies only to Milwaukee police and advocated by the politically powerful police union, city taxpayers were forced to pay Bartlett his full salary and benefits since he was fired along with eight other officers in May 2005 for their roles in the Jude incident. Since then, he has received more than $100,000 in pay and benefits...
Legislation to change the law and stop paying fired Milwaukee police officers died last fall when all Republicans on the committee voted against it.
Ah yes--the party of limited government and law and order. Anybody from WI have a handle on what's up with that?
