If it’s such little money.. I’m sure they can figure it out with the existing budget. Just like the rest of us adults do every week. The poor and middle class pay enough taxes.

Adopting this policy means we gain access to a statewide pool of monies that we can’t get otherwise, but are already paying into through surcharges on real estate transactions. In other words, by passing this, we get access to way more money than it costs us in taxes.

I agree that transferring money from the bloated police budget to things that actually serve the community is a great idea too.
