Rumors of Promotions

From the comments:

• Looks like they finaly getting along to a Sgt list. Look for merit packets in the next 2 weeks. They have to use money that was set aside or lose it. Word is enough money for 120 from the last 2 budgets but would expect closer to 75 or 80. Supe wants them to have some time at grade before the G8/Nato summits next summer.
  
  Budget is the same thing for Dics however Supe wants to wait until all the reorganization is done so not to retrain new promotees again. Probably not gonna happen for a while then get put on hold for the summits.
  
  GoodLuck all that have been waiting forever.

However, the naysayers are in full force, pointing out that promotions were not mentioned in the City's most recent budget, combining Districts is going to produce an excess of supervisors for existing positions and the lack of hiring translates into a lack of promotional opportunities.

It may just be wishful thinking on someone's part
