Fort Lauderdale Approves Plan to Help Homeless; Allots $25K for One-Way Bus Tickets Out of Town

The Drudge Report website reports today (December 22, 2011) that the city of Fort Lauderdale in Florida has come up with a way to help the homeless who have relatives in other parts of the country willing to take care of them.

On December 20, the city's commission approved a $25,000 program which will buy them one-way bus tickets out of town.

The program won't cost taxpayers any money, because it is being paid for by the Florida Law Enforcement Trust Fund, which is money confiscated from criminals.

Fort Lauderdale Vice Mayor Bobby DuBose was the only commissioner to vote against the program. He felt there were other ways the money could be used to help the homeless.
