The city of Fraser has 36 police officers on the force, but 8 may soon lose their jobs.

Reportedly among them is a father expecting twins, and another who’s child has cancer.

A nearly $15 million budget that would have called for a tax increase to fund a host of city programs as well as continue to fund the public safety department was recently voted down.

Meaning residents won’t have to pay a $300-plus a year property tax increase, but they could lose vital public safety coverage.
