A third of Leon County students are chronically absent and functionally illiterate. They need a truant officer at every middle and high skrewel. The “council on whatever” is a monumental waste of time and money.

It’s not the job of government to raise children. Its the job of government to make its citizens safe. The money the LCSO is pouring down the CSM&B rat hole should be spent on enforcing the law and arresting and incarcerating the people who violate it.

Glad they were but program is missing hundreds if not thousands of others in dire need of help. Direct funds elsewhere to more successful programs!

The “men and boys” mostly means black men and boys. If the community could get their arms around black crime, they could significantly reduce crime overall.

So why do so many black men and boys get in trouble? A big part is children being born out of wedlock. That results in no father in their lives. Then the Welfare State takes over and rewards unwed mothers. And the father gets off the hook for child support.

Our County is in debt. The Social Security Program isn’t full funded. The welfare state is gigantic and gets larger every day as more illegal immigrants are flown into the Country by Joe Biden or walk across the open border.

Our liberal progressive officials had better start getting to the root of problems instead of gaslighting the ignorant voter. But that assumes they actually want to solve the problem.
