DeSantis to Propose $5K Bonus to Lure Police Officers to Florida from States with Vaccine Mandates

Are you a law enforcement officer looking to move? Turns out a plan may be in the works to pay you to do so, in fact.

On Sunday Morning Futures, hosted by Maria Bartiromo, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is proposing to do exactly that. He outlined on the show a plan in the works to give police officers fleeing liberal cities money to entice them to make the trek to Florida.

DeSantis spoke about the controversial vaccine mandate imposed by the administration of Joe Biden and castigated the way it has led to job losses in critical sectors such as health care, police, and even military. The Republican governor tried to draw a contrast between himself and the way Democratic leaders have treated these essential workers:

“Maria these people we’ve been hailing as heroes, the nurses we’ve said, are heroes.

And now, you have people, who wanna kick them out of their job, over a shot, which is basically a personal decision.”
