Why does the federal government fund the Michigan state police?
Ha…eyes open everyone. This is disaster funding coming from FEMA. It is not a direct attack against the MSP. It’s a hold while FEMA is audited for the abuse they have likely committed. This money goes to cover emergency services for extra time worked during tornadoes and such. Looks like these are “reimbursements” for money spent going back to 2018. If you are need FEMA money to pay your officers for work they did, then clearly as a state we are doing something wrong (not surprising). All the revenue the state collects from gambling and now weed sales and they can’t fix the roads, they can’t pay the police, sounds like Dems need some help finding out where they are spending all our money. I hope new leadership comes in and does the same thing being done on a federal level. These politicians have billed their constituents for too long. Stop voting for parties, and vote for change.
