A “diverse” group of six officers was recently hired by the Port Jervis Police Department, Chief Bill Worden said at the July Police Committee meeting. Having officers who reflect community demographics was one of the goals targeted in the city’s state mandated police department reform process. Two members of the reform committee were on the hiring committee, he said.
Why not allow dispensaries and reap all of that sweet tax money? Dispensaries not only bring jobs but a lot more opportunity and tax revenue that could possibly go towards the school or helping addicts with rehab. Pj has always been behind the economy of nearby towns/cities and this ban on dispensaries is just another bullet to the foot.
I think it is exceptionally important for body cameras to be approved! Too many he said, she said situations that could be resolved easier. I also think the fireworks law needs to be addressed soon. I have a closeby neighbor that has beed setting off fireworks since mid-June and is still setting them off at all hours of the night right up into 12-1 in the morning.
lol with all the important things this city faces... stopping people from smoking is on the table? Give us a break already, the governor already peed away $18,000.00 of our tax dollars on this reimagine nonsense... Just because there is a grant available doesn't mean it's worth pursuing.
I would like to see the city focus on finishing the water lines repairs and the flooding around the city, concentrate on the heavy drugs, and dealers. God forbid Port allows people to exercise individual freedoms (to smoke cigarettes) or take full advantage of the financial windfall other places have benefited from dispensaries and marijuana sales.

I so appreciate chief Wordens efforts in these directions.
