Congress is Set to Overspend Taxpayer Dollars on the Wasteful COPSProgram
As a prominent example of government inefficiency, the Office ofCommunity Oriented Policing Services (COPS), Congress proposes tofund COPS at a level of 4.6 times over the Bush Administration'sbudget request. Instead, Congress should follow the President'srecommendations regarding eliminating grants to pay for thesalaries of state and local police officers and reducing overallfunding for COPS because it is supported by an abundance ofwell-documented evidence.
