Mayor: I need an army to fight a drug war
This editorial seems to be identifying some slight issues with the mayor….

But in virtually the same breath, he called on council to cut other departments to pay for more police.
“I need an army to fight a drug war,” he said. “I need soldiers, and they’re not giving it to me. They need to prioritize the needs of this community.”
I never knew that the position of Mayor of Charleroi, Pennsylvania was also Commander-in-Chief of the army.
That’s Charleroi, Pennsylvania. Population 4,871
