Council okays money for vehicle.

Last night the Duluth city council voted 7-2 to okay the spending of 151,533 dollars for a vehicle that will ensure the Duluth Police tactical team will have adequate equipment.

Some councilors had issues with the amount of money the vehicle costed, but in the long run it is a necessary spendicure for the department. The tactical team that deals with major crisis has been working out of a ten you old beat up Gold Cross. The old vehicle had served it's time of need, but was starting to have problems. The vehicle would not start some times, the back doors was not easy to open making it hard for the team to work as needed. Among other issues with the old vehicle. This new vehicle is set up for specificity for a tactical team.

I understand some councilors question the amount of money but am glad they passed it. There were however two councilors that voted no. Those councilors were Tim Little and Russ Stewart.
