Sheriff going Green too

In a "progressive" city where emphasis is on everything "green" even to the point of not watering your lawn to keep it that way, the Sheriff's Department is now green in Lake Worth.

Earlier in the year, the Sheriff asked the City of Lake Worth to buy them a few T-3's, battery operated vehicles. We said "no" as I recall...(Loretta and Dennis are the only walking Encyclopedias around). So, the Sheriff bought them. We now have two housed here at our "police station" (I can't call it anything else). Have you spotted one of them yet?

Operating costs for the T-3's are 10 cents a day; equivelant to 500 miles per gallon; save over $25, 000 per year compared to gas powered vehicle.
