The hourly rates paid for by taxpayers to staff the Everglades detention camp are more than what we pay teachers in Flor [View all]

The hourly rates paid for by taxpayers to staff the Everglades detention camp are more than what we pay teachers in Florida. Just horrible priorities as usual from our state government.

If you’re wondering how much public money the state is spending to staff this immigrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, look no further as we have the contract for CRS (Critical Response Strategy). They are the ones “managing” the facility.

Keep reading the millions of cost will be "fronted" by Florida. Then maybe (or not) allegorical oracle Jul 16 #4
