Attorney General Greg Zoeller told Whitley County residents Saturday morning that he has no intention of allowing a reduction the numbers of law enforcement officers on the streets -- no matter how bad the budget situation may be.
"If you don't feel safe in your home and on your street, the rest of government is irrelevant," Zoeller said.
"We don't cut law enforcement," he continued. "You'll hear me turn into a lobbyist this next session."
"We're not going to cut our basic governmental pledge that we're not going to cut law enforcement on the street."
