Cartwright’s war on energy is defunding the police

March 9, 2022

Soaring gas prices in NEPA are having an unintended effect on local police and fire department budgets.

Dickson City officials say they spent almost $7,500 on fuel costs in January alone thanks to Democrats’ war on energy.

They also say that as their “budget starts to shrink because of” skyrocketing gas prices, they may start “doubling up on patrols” and “cut down on at least a few projects.”
