Could You Taser The Mayor For $$?

In what could be a new fundraising trend, the city Van Meter, Iowa, is raffling off a chance to taser a government official. As part of a public safety fundraiser to get a new squad car and maybe a few more officers, the raffle winner will get the chance to use a Taser on City Administrator Jake Anderson or Councilman Bob Lacy at a street dance on July 18.

The idea came up during a funding meeting with police the two volunteered. Tickets cost $5 each. Anderson said he’s never been stunned with a Taser before, adding: “I imagine it will hurt.”

After July 18^th, you won’t have to imagine, you’ll know… unless it stops your heart…..

I’ll bet on second thought, a dunk tank sounds real good right about now.
