Yes, it is unconscionable with someone who allowed Waste Pro to perform at a substandard performance, high crime rate, lack of improvements on the Monroe Corridor, allowing panhandling which promotes human trafficking and on and on.
Tax dollars pay for elected officials to attend junkets at Amelia Island and Sandestin.
This is why we don’t have a convention center, performing arts center, low crime rate, etc. The disparity in deputies pay and Long’s salary is criminal.
This is off topic, but whats with Vince Long’s $367,000 salary with a 5% annual increase? This is unconscionable.
Bad teacher pay is a symptom of a flawed educational system.
How else does one explain a system that encourages students become teachers without teaching them enough basic math and economics to know that the salary isn’t self supporting?
Fire the teacher’s unions and save some dues money every month. That’ll at least help.
If teacher pat isn’t enough, then go get a better paying job. When enough teachers leave, then they’ll get the idea. It’s been known for years what teacher don’t get paid well, yet there are those that still go into teaching, and as soon as they get there, they complain about pay. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to go into a profession knowing what the pay is like, and then complain about it once you’re there.
On Saturday at 4:00 p.m. I’ll be on the golf course. I watched my last bowl game, last year. Honestly, I’m better off without them. I turned in 6 cable boxes and a 275 dollar a month xfinity bill when ESPN screwed us.

The Orange Bowl and the CFP can suck it!

You don’t need to attend school to land a $50,000.00 per year career living on welfare which includes a lifetime of free medical care and top-shelf legal representation. Plus a covey of perks such as free cable TV and a cell phone. All you must do is get your voting rights restored and always vote Democrat.
My point is these problems started getting out of control when Democrats made being on welfare more lucrative than working and when Democrats stopped enforcing the law.
