"Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz warned county commissioners that Mayor Daniella Levine Cava's proposed budget doesn't provide enough funding for public safety, requesting a $93 million increase."
"She stated that anything less than her requested funding increase amounts to defunding the police, emphasizing the importance of adequate financial support."
Miami-Dade County's Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz believes a proposed 7% tax funding increase for law enforcement is inadequate for ensuring public safety. Cordero-Stutz requested a $93 million boost to address vacancies and civilian hiring, labeling any funding below her request as defunding the police. After her remarks, county commissioners maintained property-tax rates flat, with potential for adjustments later. Although Mayor Daniella Levine Cava recommended a $55 million increase in tax funding, it falls short of the sheriff's requested amount necessary for public safety operations which is significantly underfunded in her view.
