WOULD COSTA MESA BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT INHOUSE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS?

Many cities are policed by the Sheriff and have their fire fighting done by the OC Fire Authority.

Here's a LINK to an article in the almost daily Daily Pilot about police and fire contracts, and about the high salaries and great benefits that members of both departments get from the citizens of Costa Mesa.

Although you won't see this reflected in the above linked article nor in the comments from readers, many citizens of Costa Mesa have been concerned for several years about how the police and fire unions use their built-in prestige to try to elect City Council members in Costa Mesa even though most of the police officers--more than 75% by last count, and probably a similar percentage of fire fighters--don't live in Costa Mesa and can't vote here.

One thing that would restore confidence in these departments would be for them to stop trying to elect Councilmembers who are in their pockets.
