A School Bus Scam?
I heard of a scam uncovered several years ago, and I wondered if it was still a problem anywhere.
Here it is: Apparently whenever a school district services military dependents from a military base, that school district gets special federal compensation for transporting those military dependents. And in this instance, the pay was figured on mileage logged on the busses that transported the military dependents.
In this one case, some of the school administrators were having the buses drive around empty, accumulating miles, so the school could receive more funds. I suspect the school paid the bus company from the federal funds they received - and then the bus company gave the school administrations a share of the stolen money.
I've read that there are about 200 military bases in the US, so...it's something to check on.
A SCHOOL BUS SCAM?
Illegally passing school buses
schoolbusfleet.com says that there are 40 million illegal school bus passings each year.
GHSA (Governors Highway Safety Assc.) says the 1,279 children have been killed in the last 50 years at bus stoppings, with 13,000 injuries annually. They report some 39 million violated stoppings each year in America.
Now, while I generally despise LEO public surveillance cameras on stoplights, etc.,
I could agree with putting such cameras on school buses, left and right, facing forward and to the rear, to record information about these criminals.
I would bet that most of them are Democrats, who already disregard children.
Prove me wrong
