There lots of things in the Mayor's job I wish I could share. Today I can tell you about one.
When the Des Moines Mayor named Judy Bradshaw its police chief, I was MAD. I knew that meant Freehold would be on its own for a while.
The thing is, most urban areas have what is called reciprocal agreements in fire and police. When something big does down in one city it neighbors bring their police and fire in to help. All this is spelled out in the agreements.
With a woman Chief of Police, Judy Bradshaw, we in Freehold could not maintain our reciprocal agreement with the City Government of Des Moines. I would not put the citizens of Freehold in harms way by relying on a woman directing police and fire. I tore up the agreement and mailed it to the Des Moines Mayor.
I prayed that she would leave, and sure enough, she is gone. Let me say it again, Praise Jesus.
