Not always the case. Here in Metro Atlanta, the City of Atlanta is broke. They have closed down fire stations, furloughed PD and FD, but have put in place a P-25 digital public safety system. De Kalb, who had one of the oldest trunked systems in existence, just put on the air a P-25 system. The CEO of De Kalb just went on TV yesterday to tell everyone in that county the increase in real estate taxes was going to be over $200 more a year. Just look elsewhere in the country and you will see the same. It has been a fat hog feeding frenzy (communications companies) with all the fed $$$ being handed out.
