The Cost of Texas Totalitarianism to Taxpayers

Hey, it's YOUR MONEY!

When are you going to get tired of paying for your own enslavement, America?


"CPS dealing with reimbursement backlog in FLDS raid"

"AUSTIN — Caseworkers are struggling financially as the state faces a backlog to reimburse them for travel expenses connected to the removal of more than 400 children from a polygamist sect's West Texas ranch.

The Texas State Employees Union has fielded complaints about slow reimbursements. And state officials have heard "anecdotal complaints" from Child Protective Services workers who are contending with out-of-pocket expenses as they drive hundreds of miles a week to check on youngsters in foster care or on parents at risk of losing custody of their children....

Yeah, screw the environment.

That's why I don't take that agenda push seriously anymore.

Preliminary costs for overtime, travel and lodging during the first few weeks of the April raid and removal of the children from the compound reached $5.5 million. As more expense reports are submitted, the amount is expected to rise dramatically.

Foster care for the children in custody and support services are expected to cost at least $1.7 million per month for as long as the youngsters remain in state custody."

Yup, ALREADY COST nearly $6 MILLION for a BOGUS, BULLSHIT CASE!!!

With nearly $2m a month more, while CPS workers drive all over the great state of Texas "checking" on the kids, burning up fuel that YOU ARE PAYING FOR, Texas taxpayer.

When does it end, AmeriKa?
