The latest flap came when Walker asked Council for $900,000 from a trust fund. That would include $624,000 for police overtime, $41,000 for firefighter overtime, $82,000 for a new police officer and $77,000 for a new firefighter.
The Coatesville area has had 23 arsons this year and more than 20 last year. Of $156,000 budgeted for police overtime, Walker says more than $100,000 has already been spent by mid-February.
