City Council tackles Nashua’s budget issues

 
Nashua residents expressed concerned and worry Monday night at a City Council meeting about losing four good men from the Nashua Police Department due to discussion of reducing or even eliminating the department.
The discussion came two weeks after a group of Nashua residents submitted a petition to look at either reducing the size of the police force or contracting with the Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office for law-enforcement coverage.
But residents at Monday night’s meeting, which came five days after a special meeting was held to discuss the budget, worried that the city will not have the same coverage as it does now.
They pointed out that officers help when needed — even if it is a bat in the house problem or figuring out how to shut off an electrical smoke alarm.
