Scurlock, Jr. <br />Indian River County Board <br />of Commissioners <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Mr. Scurlock: <br />PHONE (305) 283-6760 <br />As I'm sure you are aware, the legislature has adjourned without <br />addressing the issue of criminal justice funding. <br />Our Board has authorized me to write to Rep. Thompson, Sen. Johnston, <br />and Gov. Graham asking that they include roads and criminal justice <br />funding in the special session called for June 19th. We would request <br />your immediate help in getting Tallahassee's attention in adding <br />criminal justice to the special session. <br />We feel that the legislature must address three (3) issues this year: <br />1. Sales Tax. <br />2. Gas Tax. <br />3. Funding for an Article V Review Committee as <br />recommended by the State Comprehensive Plan <br />Committee. <br />The Review Committee would be charged with reviewing the Criminal <br />Justice System to separate out state and county responsibilities so <br />that counties will not be forced to pay for state responsibilities. <br />We need your help as soon as possible if these important issues are to <br />be addressed. <br />Sincere , <br />7 <br />Thom°as G. <br />Chairman <br />Kenny, III <br />Commissioner Bowman felt this is extremely urgent as the <br />Legislature reconvenes tomorrow and she suggested that we either <br />phone or send a wire requesting that these matters be addressed <br />at the Special Session. <br />67 <br />B00!( 6 ' <br />CAGF 101 <br />
