What's more important...

Tell me which is more important police and fire coverage or another lecture on diversity?

Much to my amazement I know which the government of Lansing, Michigan chose. In a fell swoop of laying off 21 police and fire fighters, their proposed budget include $140,000 in diversity programs (Lansing State Journal)

What type of liberal thinking would decide this? What stupidity? Are they thinking that just because they pay $150,000 to a PR firm to send out press releases, or $20,000 on a Harvard law professor, that crime and fires will amazingly handle themselves? That just because they spend a huge amount of money (espeically considering other towns of similiar size spend less or even nothing on programs such as these) that noone will feel the need to commit a crime?

This is an obscene liberal program, and I have to say that I am personally glad that I don't live in Lansing to feel the pain of less police or less firefighters.
