What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Vallejo City Council voted unanimously to allot $464,000 for the police department’s Axon Enterprise system, which includes body cameras, in-car cameras, and Tasers. The funding was approved using a combination of Measure P funds, which increased Vallejo sales tax, and funds from a class action lawsuit against the defunct company that manufactured toxic chemicals. Assistant City Manager Nalungo Conley estimated that approximately $225,000 remained in the Monsanto settlement funds.
