Chopper Pilots: We need new helicopters!
Update: The City Council voted in favor of giving these guys helicopters. Council Member Pam Holm was the only person voting against the new choppers. Holm says she's all for the choppers, but didn't like the financial structure under which they would be purchased.
The majority of HPD's helicopter corps showed up at City Hall today. Dressed in their sharp blue uniforms, the guys patiently listened to un-related city hall stuff for hours. (They looked cheerful!) They are, of course, waiting for the crucial City Council ordinance that would give these officers six new helicopters. Although the itme was tagged last week, it should pass today. Maybe then HPD can retire some fo the choppers that are more than 25 years old.
They don't really need new helicopters, but I guess Hurtt thought they would look pretty in their military-facsimile flight suits. I guess Council bought it. Next week I am selling a bridge in Brooklyn to Bill White.
