Ah, a typically hypocritical 'we believe in less government spending' conservative willing to spend like a drunken sailor on anything that suits his agenda.
I'm SO glad I did all my Florida visiting a long time ago when the state was still a nice place to be.
Now it's a laughing stock and it's filled with crime, snakes, alligators more than ever. With UNvaccinated police officers it's certainly no longer a safe place to retire because covid kills the elderly at higher rates. If it doesn't kill them, it can still make them extremely sick. But the Florida attitude seems to be--Who Cares?
We’re glad too. Stay in your deep blue state wearing a cloth mask for the rest of your life. Thank you!

They will spend less on training which saves money. They will hire experience which will save money. You should take some business courses. It'll help you understand things better.

Sorry, but at my age it makes sense to wear a good mask when you're in with other people and there's a pandemic going on. I love New England and enjoyed FL back in the day.
The average salary for Chicago police officers is $61,600. Given our property taxes, cost of gasoline, and the cost of risking ones life every day, Florida probably looks pretty damn good.
How is he wasting taxpayer money? He’s filling positions that he can’t fill and he’s getting trained officers. Tourism is huge and a lack of policing isn’t a good draw.
I don't know if that calculator adjusted for the difference in state and local taxes. In FL your state income tax is $0, no matter how much you make. In New York City you could be paying up to ~7% to the state and 3-4% to the city. If it doesn't, add between 5 and 10% to the figure from that calculator to figure in taxes.
The benefit of living among people who actually appreciate what police officers do versus the ungrateful elite snobs in blue states has to be worth at least $20K a year to most cops.
