Nice Catch

Someone pointed out this in the "New 9-1-1 Policy" article:

• This March, there were 100,000 more calls than last March.
  

Even discounting a third of the calls to dupes and bullshit, that's a sizable increase.

And this?

• Also during Thursday’s hearing, aldermen hammered Schenkel about the perennial problem of 911 center overtime and about a dramatic increase in overtime spending — from $5.6 million last year to more than $7 million this year.
  

But crime is down? Is anyone in the media smelling the crap they're helping Rahm and Garry shovel?
