[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 601918, member: 54538"] No, that's not it at all. That, once again, is complaining to the officer--which we agree is pointless. What I/we are saying is that if we as citizens felt that (to use your example) car washes are a more important service for the citizens to get from our tax dollars than paying officers to give tickets to people who are intoxicated in bars, it is perfectly acceptable for us to write to our elected officials expressing this opinion, and asking them to factor this into the next state/federal/municipal/etc. budget by adjusting the budget for TABC lower and the budget for TBCW (Texas Bureau of Car Washes) higher. And it is perfectly acceptable for us to vote for people who promise to do so. If enough people vote that way, then it will happen--and it will have enough impact on the hiring within the state that yes, that guy giving tickets to people in the saloon last night may be washing the cars in the saloon's parking lot the next day. :) [/QUOTE]
