Atlantic Yards YES! Cops NO!

From NY1: As Budget Shrinks, NYPD Faces Possibility Of Layoffs

The mayor has ordered all city agencies to cut spending by 7 percent or $1.4 billion, on top of the 5 percent cut he ordered last month.

Police spokesman Paul Browne says layoffs might not be necessary if they can find other ways to cut costs.

But Kelly says with 94 percent of the NYPD's budget going towards personnel, the department may find no other way.

"If we make additional reductions it has to come out of our personnel stream, and everything will be on the table," said Kelly Friday. "And obviously, since we've already reduced with the first round of cuts, the next round will require layoffs."

If we're not going to have real cops, can we at least get RoboCop 3 to protect us from Delta City Atlantic Yards?
