Proposed budget cuts by Mashpee’s town manager are not getting an endorsement from the town’s Police Department.
The budget, presented Monday to town selectmen by Town Manager Rodney Collins, is 2.3-percent less than what was requested by Mashpee’s department heads.
Although the proposed budget does not call for any layoffs, Police Chief Scott Carline says he is disappointed that two vacant police officer positions will not be funded.
The proposed 2018 Mashpee budget proposed spending about $150-thousand less than what the Chief requested.
