The Real Costs Of Florida's Hasty Parkland Legislation Are Coming Out
Then, taxpayers have to bear most of the cost.
I bet this sounds familiar..
This story was reported by Rod Thomson one theRevolutionaryAct website:
"There are 4,000 public schools in Florida. Law enforcement figures each school resource officer costs about $100,000 in salary, benefits, supplies and general overhead. So putting one at every school represents a $400 million endeavor statewide, towards which the state only committed $100 million. This is an ongoing, $300 million expense, every year.
And there’s the rub. The Legislature responded to the Parkland tragedy and difficult environment with not only a bad law, but one that shoves its badness down to the local level for payment."
