$650,000 of Florida taxpayer money.

You obviously don't fly very often...if ever.

'According to FlightAware tracking, two Ultimate Air shuttles flew Wednesday morning from San Antonio to Crestview in Florida’s Panhandle before traveling north. One of the planes stopped in Charlotte, N.C., the other in Spartanburg, S.C., before reaching Martha’s Vineyard.

The Vineyard Gazette reported that island officials and volunteers quickly rallied to find temporary shelter for 48 migrants from Venezuela and Colombia. Numerous reports said the group included a dozen children.'

$650,000 divided by 48 is $12,812 per person.

A FIRST CLASS flight from San Antonio to Boston (on United Airlines)?
With 2 stops?
Costs at MOST - about $2,500.

So you are seriously suggesting that it cost over FIVE TIMES more to fly these people on two, dinky, chartered aircraft?
Then it would to fly FIRST CLASS on United Airlines?

Yes or no, please?

Yes! Somebody made a lot of money off this stunt.

DeSantis may be in trouble in Florida because one of the stipulation for using relocation funds is the refugees must be in Florida!

„DeSantis’ administration last week paid an aviation company $615,000 as part of the new program to relocate undocumented immigrants. It paid Vertol Systems Company, Inc., on Sept. 8, according to state budget records. The payment, listed as “Relocation program of unauthorized aliens,” appears to have come from the state’s general revenue fund.“

How much is a bus ticket and ferry passage? Admittedly, it was a few years ago, but the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard was about $25 the last time I took it.

Finally!!!
Someone provides a link.
Thank you.

Well...if this is true?

DeSantis was a COMPLETE MORON in how his government handled this.

As it literally would have cost at LEAST 90% less if they had just bought, each and every one of these 48 people, a FIRST CLASS TICKET on United Airlines to get them to Boston. And then used frigging limousine's to get them to Martha's Vineyard.


When will people learn?
Everything...EVERYTHING...ANY, decent-sized government does?
They will do it INCREDIBLY INNEFFICIENTLY.

I really enjoy Havana, but in the summer I prefer the Vineyard.

Havana has great food and nightlife, and I love the fishing. The Vineyard is more for laying in the beach, drinking wine and bike rides.

Less than the cost of letting them stay wherever they were soaking up local law enforcement, social services, and other government activities by their presence. Getting rid of them to places where Democrats claim to want and care for them seems brilliant.

Probably true, but watching Republicans spend money like Democrats has never sat well with me. Proof Trumpians are simply RW spendthrifts of taxpayer money.....it helps explain why Republicans supported Trump blowing up the National Debt.

Oh, I agree, the Republicans aren't guiltless. But in the Republican's favor other than spending they tend towards less regulation and far more rule of law than the Left / Democrats do.

Dude, you are justifying spendthrift assholes in DC because they are your party. You're no different than the fucking Democrats. This is exactly a main reason why I'm no longer a Republican.

Not only do you justify spending your grandkids future on bullshit, you also supported the violent overthrow of our government and Constitution.

Now tell me if Reagan would be proud or not.
