All you say is true, but there is more to it. First, area law enforcement just bought TWO choppers with the intention of sharing between area agencies. Does the smallest county in NC suddenly need three choppers. If you are associated with boats, then you know the purchase price of some conveyances is just the beginning--fuel, upkeep, repair, insurance, storage, costs associated with piloting, etc. I am also thinking of the taxpayer's wallet, which has been opened so often as of late. If this chopper catches extra bag guys, then I will be pleased. Let's keep up with the score.
