Thank you Mayor Vrbanovic for this kernel of a suggestion, showing us that defunding police is wholly feasible and possible, right here & now! Since you’ve given us the steps in the process, why don’t we change the amount, multiplying by a factor of 6.2? That’s the easy part!

What if communities are measured, not by how well the top 1% are doing, but how the most marginalized are thriving...I wonder, how would the #WaterlooRegion rate? What would the Dec 15th Regional Budget decision say of who we are & who we want to be?
