How about losing the police "overtime"? We most certainly do NOT need to pay police officers $50-90/hr to direct traffic! There are plenty of civilians willing to do the exact same job for much less money!!! I don't know HOW many times I have driven past a "traffic detail" recently only to see the detail officer sitting in his car looking down (most likely texting or surfing) instead of doing the job he or she is being paid for! I think if most taxpayers knew how much money these officers were actually being paid for standing around, they would be outraged!
