Shorewood has 2 dealerships at I-55 and Rt52 and they couldn't buy them both locally?

Probably would of paid higher taxes if they bought them both locally. That or some other kind of back room bullsh*t.

F 150 is a great choice and will have many uses in addition to traffic enforcement. The state uses unmarked pickup's and vans for trafice law enforcement why not SWD.
I applaud the forward thinking of this choice.

Thanks Joe!
Maybe you should explain why municipalities buy things like vehicles out of their home area.
Have a great day!
