Public pays twice: Palm Beach Commissioners get rides from deputies, plus car allowance
Only one of seven Palm Beach County commissioners gave up $550-a-month car allowance when deputies began driving them to provide security.
While Palm Beach County taxpayers are spending at least $211,000 a month for sheriff’s deputies to ferry county commissioners to meetings and other events, the elected officials are still pocketing taxpayer-funded subsidies for their personal cars.
Five accept auto allowances and a sixth, County Mayor Sara Baxter, gets a Chevy Tahoe in addition to secure rides with deputies in a program shrouded in secrecy.
