During Monday’s hearing of the Senate Committee on Budget, Appropriations and Finance, lawmakers were shocked to learn that some much-needed police vehicles had been sitting unused for an extended period of time.
Senator Frett-Gregory was affronted to learn that the year-long delay had not been caused by any payment issues on VIPD’s end of the contract. “The vendor was already paid,” Mr. Brooks disclosed, unable to offer an explanation as to why so long a time had elapsed between payment and arrival of the necessary retrofitting equipment. “We cannot allow businesses to hold us hostage,” Frett-Gregory declared.
