THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER REPORTS THAT IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO WELFARE CHECKS ON IMMIGRANT CHILDREN NOR THEIR GEOGRAPHIC LIMITATIONS. IT IS ALSO UNCLEAR IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FUNDING THEIR DEPARTMENTS. ALL OF THE 10 DEPARTMENTS SIGNED UP IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. PLEASANTVILLE POLICE DISOLVED THIS MONTH AND THE ENTIRE SARDINIA (SAR-DIN-EE-UH) DEPARTMENT IS ON LEAVE ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT.
