Anderson council approves police restructuring and budget cut
The Anderson City Council voted 6-3 to restructure the police department raising salaries by 1,000 while cutting sergeants from 35 to 14 billets. Patrolmen rose from 82 to 103 with no 1972 pay increase, trimming about 11,000 from the salary budget. Technical pay would continue for polygraph and drunkometer work, but scuba, motorcycle patrols, and the K-9 unit face phaseouts. Dissent came from Millikan Jones and Van Dyke who argued the change reduces police strength.

The package, supported by both parties, requires all six bills to be enacted together and includes higher state sales and income taxes with strict local government spending controls. Speaker Otis R Bowen labeled the compromise bipartisan and aimed at substantial property tax relief.
