Thread: I see state employees driving BMW sport cars this is awaste of tax-payers money

what do you think?
The vehicles were confiscated in criminal investigation and the state use them instead of buying other vehicles .this policy has been in effect for ten years.

my favorite is our towns fire chief gets a ford expedition to drive, even in his private off hours time, you know we are paying for the gas.

A car is designed to get you from point A to point B, if it is a sports car or SUV not only is it wasting tax money, it is driving up the price of gas for all of us.

With all the traffic and speed limits in US, how can anyone justify owning a sports car?

No it is not. You could pay state employees the average salary and give them a cheap car but then they would not attract the high calibre workers needed to run government institutions. In the long run it is better to pay state employees the same as the private sector.
As the famous sying goes "If you pay peanuts, then you get monkeys"
