So what exactly is a "law enforcement consolidation task force"? Floridians apparently will find out very soon. In the post-Session whirlwind of bill signings in the last few weeks, one small item seems to have flown under most radars. Gov. Scott and his cut happy band of tea party legislators seemed poised to begin cutting vital law enforcement positions. They call it a "reorganization" of FHP and a planned shift of many of their duties to county sheriffs (unfunded?) is imminent. This time, however, they will no longer be cutting what might be considered "fat" from the State budget. These law enforcement cuts would be digging deep into the muscle of what keeps Florida and Floridians safe. Scary stuff for those of us concerned with safety.
