FPWD RUSTY YORK-GHOST EMPLOYMENT? TAKE HOME COP CARS

http://nscontent.news-sentinel.com/sites/nscontent.news-sentinel.com/files/images/galleries/Ellie13.jpg







note:
ghost employment- is the term used in indiana law-  to  make a charge of using  public/govt owned resources for political campaigning.
 this would be driving a take home cop car- if issued/permitted- and we dont know- because theFWPD is a closed secretive   agency- we the people have no"NEED TO KNOW" and questions go nowhere/unanswered.

HAS ANYBODY RAISED THE QUESTION OF WHETHER FWPD public safety director (PSD) RUSTY YORK- (Democrat candidate for city council 4th district) is issued a city owned car/ police car? and if so- as a political candidate- he should be "DE-Horsed" from it so as to prevent charges of "ghost employment"- using city resources in a political campaign?- this includes stopping off at any campaign event/appearance " but its just on the way home".
this is worlds different from the President using air force one , as HE has no alternatives.. "police force 1? lol..)


Mr York should surrender his take home car( if issued)- and as long as he is a candidate for office; should drive his own car to and from the office. This is a PERENNIAL VEXING ISSUE- take home cop cars in political campaigns by member s of police depts..
I suppose to be fair- we should examine MRS Keeslings city clerk campaign- so ACPD officer( last i heard he hasnt retired)- KEESLING- isnt driving the wife around campaigning in a county cop car..
I have made several election campaign complaints previously- with respect to this issue; and it is a question that must always be asked; and checked and acted upon, and candidates reminded; and the facts and mileage checked..GPS on cop cars? mileage records, etc..
