STOCKTON, CA - Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva unveiled his sales tax increase idea to fund 100 additional police officers. 

"A half cent sales tax, that will generate $18 million a year," Silva said. "This money can only be used for safety; no marinas or city funded restaurants."

Silva announced his plan with former Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton at his side. Bratton has been hired as a consultant to assist Silva, but declined to say what he's being paid. Silva said Stockton business people are picking up the tab for Bratton's work.

Silva charged ahead with his plan even though he's been told by City Manager Bob Deis it's a bad idea because the city is currently in bankruptcy court trying to prove to a judge the city is broke.
