Unfortunately, it is not in Escambia County, but Broward. There County Commissioners are pressing the Sheriff Al Lambert to cut more from his budget his $719.2 million budget than the 2% that he has proposed.
Here ECSO has proposed closing to substations for $250,000 savings. I’m not sure where McNesby is on his budget. I think he, too, has offered up around a 2% cut – about 2%.
I don’t the Escambia County Commission will challenge McNesby to do much more.
