You don't want to include the number though? It's 40% of general fund and like 20% of total budget. How much more do you want?

And uvalde is only making very small changes after a huge failure. Other PDs are doing far far less, more likely nothing.
You said 40% of the city budget. It's 17% of the city budget. Don't throw out random numbers that are distorted into the shape of the reality you would like to perceive.
Your assertion is that Uvalde is at the leading cutting edge of the best departments in the country?
