I appreciate this debate about police and why they exist but lets not forget the funding issue.
First is scraping surplus and using the money to pay for this feasible? Only one has responded so far on this matter.
Second, what about the NE, considering the Public Means Public Act, how do we go about distributing the money as this is a similar instance of one region already doing this?
That's not the point.
The fact that the northeast is paying out of its own pocket for something that the federal government pays for in every other region is unfair on the northeast. Just like it's unfair for the IDS and NE to pay to support their own homeless while other regions have it paid for them.
However, short of a restructuring of what constitutes regional and what constitutes federal areas of power I don't see what can be done. Does anyone else have any ideas?
Agreed. Because some regions weren't as forward looking is no point to punish the region. Maybe we should ask the Governor if they want the funds, rather than simply saying they can't have it out of turn. I know the NE runs a surplus so there's no guarantee that they'd want it, but it's unfair to not include us simply because we've got the program going already.
