| The entire police force in Goodhue, Minnesota, resigned recently because of issues with pay, the town's mayor announced at a city council meeting. Police Chief Josh Smith submitted his resignation last week, and then a full-time officer and five part-time employees in the small city in southeastern Minnesota quit days later. Smith said at a meeting last month that low pay was an issue. "Trying to hire at $22 an hour, you're never going to see another person again walk through those doors. That's it," Smith said. Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck is now trying to secure police coverage for the city of around 1,000 people because she said the current department will only be on duty until Aug. 24. She said the police department's resigning "is not unusual — it does happen." Read more here. |
