Senator Rick Scott wants $80 billion from IRS to fund officers in schools

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is urging Congress to reroute the billions of dollars earmarked for the IRS in the Inflation Reduction Act to hire armed officers for schools across the country. "Instead of spending billions of dollars to expand the IRS to go after American taxpayers, Washington can send a powerful message to parents about our true priorities by dedicating these funds to the School Guardian Act to provide block grants to states so they can increase school security at every school and keep kids safe. I hope my colleagues agree and support its quick passage," Scott said.
