Tallahasee gets well paid to fix this and even gets raises when the officers have not had a raise in over six years. Truth, the Obama stimulous has turned the economic tide and things are getting better in the real world. Soon you will not be able to smugly say 'you are just lucky to have jobs'. With low pay, benefits cuts, no chance to promote within. How long do you think you will be able to retain employees let alone attract new hires.
Either fix this or retire. Or scrap OALE and return to the road guard system. Then when a weapon of mass destruction comes into Florida in a semi trailer the Government can freak out and spend millions to create a Homeland Security Agency to guard the Florida peninsula . They can call it something like ...OALE. Or they could just fix the one they already have.
