Rick Scott Tried To Disband The Florida Highway Patrol
Aimed at cost-cutting, the move would likely have increased local property taxes, which are used to pay sheriff’s departments:
“If a deal was worked out, the funding might be here one year and the funding could disappear in the next legislative session,” Harrell Reid, president of the Florida Sheriff’s Association said. [...]
Rick Scott side stepped the question of why he was willing to transfer the Patrol to local sheriffs. [...] “It’s good to have a conversation about how can we do a good job with what the state ought to be involved with in law enforcement,” Scott said.
Republicans tucked legislation into a state Senate bill to fund a study on consolidating all law enforcement functions, including Fish and Wildlife and agriculture agents.
