In light of the 30 months of "declining crime," the FOP ought to be making an album of newspaper clippings from the past 30 months and presenting it to the arbitrator once contract negotiations begin.
They could be the heroes of an entire police generation by getting double-digit annual increases, pension security guarantees and health care concessions from an appreciative Rahm Emanuel.
In fact, we'd be willing to say that 30 straight months of crime reduction is a GREAT job and more than deserving of a equally GREAT raise, especially in these trying economic times where every penny counts and Rahm is demanding accountability and more bang for the ever tighter public dollar.
We eagerly await negotiations.
