Sheriff cracks down in Lake Worth

Comment Up

PBSO in Lake Worth did its job, at last.

Read about the recent arrests mostly involving drugs, thus removing these low-lives off the streets of our city.

Let's hope that the PBSO makes this a standard and on-going operation.

Why does it take residents finally coming to ANOTHER boiling point about the low life scum plaguing Lake Worth for the PBSO to do it's job? Lake Worth is charged twice what Wellington PAYS FOR HALF THE PATROL AREAS. And yes, THERE IS A LOT OF CRIME IN Wellington, IT'S JUST REPORTED AS LAKE WORTH.

Very happy to read this. I agree with the above, I'm not sure why it takes repeated complaints to get PBSO to do something, but I'm happy they are doing something.

Is that really true, that we are charged twice what Wellington pays for PBSO, that seems unbelievable. Can you point to source.

To answer for anonymous above, all the municipalities published their budgets as did we. I can't recall the figures in the Post but I just looked up Wellington's final budget on-line;
Wellington Ad-valorem: $16,162,495
Wellington Public Safety: 8,414,813

We pay over twice what Wellington pays, a city with a bigger land mass and twice the number of people.

Lynn, does our excessive payment to PBSO relate to LWPD pension obligations, it seems very odd that we would pay so much more than Welly.

Lynn Anderson said...

Yes the amount we show includes pension obligations. I am also assuming that Wellington's published budget does the same thing but I don't know for sure. If you break down just PBSO--it is $15mil and still $7 mil higher than Wellington. (Not going to do the research to verify the exact amount we will be paying the Sheriff but it was somewhere in that range). Fire is another $2.7 million. The published budget in the PB Post had an amount of $19.817 million for Public Safety.
