    It is clearly not a financial issue. Watch the village board meeting on their website.
     
    1) they state they want to add cops
    2) they state they failed to pass the tax cap override 30 days prior (as required by law)
    3) they stated they can only add cops if they cut the budget elsewhere (since they can't legally raise taxes)
    4) they started with a number of cuts, including the $600,000 in salary/benefits for the career firefighters 
     
    now here is is the kicker.......
     
    5) they included dropping the Rye Brook "payment" (with no explanation). This payment is approximately $1,000,000 for fire protection.
     
    So how many cops can they hire with this math? $600,000 - $1,000,000 = negative $400,000. In other words, the village will have to come up with an additional $400,000 to fund the FD.
