Fiscal Definitions
As most of you are aware, I have a challenger for the office of Bureau County Sheriff in the February Primary Election. His announcement in the local papers makes the claim that he is a “fiscal conservative”. That is a very popular buzz term in use today, but it also sets off my “Spiderman” alarm senses.
Is a “fiscal conservative” someone who will opt to use budget monies to acquire items that are initially inexpensive but will require replacement in a shorter period of time? Or simply not acquire a needed item? Or allow something to be used that endagers the safety of the community and staff?
