Update | Comment from Gang Violence Reduction Coordinator Pastor Leroy Bean
What is pastor bean’s value here? Where has he been for the last two years? Collecting a pay cheque and counting his beans?
What added value does he bring beyond the BPS Parish Constables and the BPS CAT team?
It looks to me like he has a lovely hi-vis vest and polo shirt to walk around in. What does he actually bring to the table? Seems he’s just a waste of a placemat…at the taxpayers expense.
Where’s the pastor, that 130k is being wasted if he is still on the payroll. That money can be used elsewhere.
