Defund the police, right?

The state police...still has to find a sustainable source of funding

SMH. PA needs to sort out its priorities. As do most states and cities. They can't do everything.

Heaven forbid they cut somebody else’s budget.

For those not familiar with Pennsylvania’s fragmented local government:

According the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs, within the Commonwealth’s sixty-seven Counties there exist five-hundred (500) School Districts; fifty- six (56) Cities; one (1) Town; nine hundred sixty-four (964) Boroughs; and one-thousand five hundred forty-six (1546) Townships.

Penn’s mistake was not instituting these fees when they started to provide the services 100 years ago.

[Oatka]

According to Wolf’s budget description, “this fee is predicated on station coverage costs, which are driven by incidents and coverage area, and considers various factors, including population and income.”

That part will be considered "Racist!" when the bill for the ghettos comes due.

Basically you have some jurisdictions taxpayers paying for their own police departments as well as paying for the State police to police other jurisdictions that have chosen to close down their own police departments so the State can take care of it for them, with taxpayers state-wide footing the bill. So no thank you. Not a fan of defunding the police no matter who does it.

Maybe start sending social workers out on calls to inner city 911 calls.
