So far the main effect I've seen is overtime has really decreased.

dude, it's actually affected people here in Tucson, during certain times of the week there is only like 1 cop every 15 mile radius. They've even started laying people off at the jail... mostly the senior officers that are getting paid too much for doing too little...

Ya thats why I'm not overly secure. It does happen from time to time but usually emergency workers are the last to go so who knows. I'm saving my money just in case. We're union so they wouldnt be able to lay off senior officers. Its the low guys on the totem pole to go first. We hired at least 30 people after me so I'm not at the complete bottom

Mine is pretty secure although nothing is ever guaranteed in this world.

With fuel prices dropping and peoples short term memory loss they seem to forget that the price of fuel is going to shoot back up and even if not you can't afford to buy fuel if you don't have a job so a little investment now could save a small fortune over time...but hey what do I care really
