The Goodhue City Council held a meeting on Monday to discuss options for police coverage following the entire department's resignation.

The Goodhue Police Department resigned due to issues with the city’s pay, Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck said at a city council meeting Monday.

    Obviously they don’t give a shit about the community they police or they wouldn’t have all quit before talks about pay raises could even occur.

    They resigned and it’s not effective until August 24th, giving the City Council time to either work out pay raises or contract with the County for policing responsibility.

    I suspect this is a ploy

    I suspect that it’s a clear signal from Labor to Management that they’re tired of working for $22 an hour when similar job opportunities are paying $30.
