King Plum advocating 7% cuts in police forces

The national embarrasment that is "King" Ken Plum is gaining more traction. This comes as Plum, the 30-year Virginia delegate from Reston, offers support for cutting 7 percent of police funding. According to Fairfax County newspapers, King Plum wants to make these cuts to tackle the billion dollars in budget shortfalls that had been miscalculated. In addition, the 30-year monarch of Reston wants to cut funding for our commonwealth's attorneys, also known as prosecutors. Moreover, King Plum is an advocate for raising taxes.

Meanwhile, King Plum supports continued funding for nature buildings and building high-toll HOV lanes in Fairfax County that really are not proper answers to anything at this point.

Police protection and education are two areas that should be off-limits to out-of-touch politicians like King Ken Plum. Unfortunately, King Ken Plum has remained in this one position for 30 years and has lost touch with the facts on the ground.
