Just Say "No" to Tasers
The amended 2015 budget being considered by City Council on Tuesday June 2 proposes to spend $7500 on Tasers for the police. Tasers are unfortunately sometimes subject to misuse and have resulted in tragic consequences.
The national trend is to de-militarize the police. The $7500 might be better spent on equipment for the SteamPlant or city parks.
Perhaps others will agree and contact city council about this budget item.

Those who would say every house hold should be armed (NRA), look at the former Texas governors attitude, which says "lets get rid of our local police and require every citizen be armed, always".
