$14 Million Dollar Texas Raid on FLDS Ranch
klbj590 asked:
The cost of the April raid on a polygamist compound in West Texas is expected to top $14 million, about one-third of it in lawyers’ fees.
That’s according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, which obtained more than 400 pages of invoices, e-mails and other state records from an open-records law request.
The biggest chunk of spending is expected to stem from court proceedings after the state seized about 460 children from the Yearning For Zion Ranch near Eldorado, which is owned by the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The state expects to pay nearly $4.5 million in legal fees, including paying for lawyers who represented the state and others appointed by judges to represent the children.
A state district judge in San Angelo first gave custody of the children to the state child protective services agency, but the Texas Supreme Court later returned the children to their parents.

If only they used that money to really help children and families instead of the scum bag judges and lawyer parasites. Join us for our March on Washington August 15.

Wow, it is impossible to incur that much money!! Is someone looking into this? They took the DNA even though they knew the raid was false??? Does anyone know if all the kids are back? $2.4 million from the ‘kindly’ Baptist Church?? What every happened to budgets??

That is exactly what I thought in regards to the busses. They could have rented limos for less than that, but the truth is someone is just pocketing the money; you know they didn`t pay those churches 2.4 million for their old busses. Also housing fees! Originally the kids only had a bucket of water for bathing. There was no adequate housing in the beginning.

When high school dropouts are in charge running government agencies this is the result.
And because people in high places are so comfortable themselves with prostitutes, they naturally believed that a crack-whore, Flora Jeshop was honest in her accusations. Prostitutes, book writer swindlers, and traitors, are the preferred source for facts, for these government agencies in charge of taxpayer money.

and they were too cheap to drive the kids back to the ranch - driving to the four corners of Texas to pick up your kids can cost hundreds of dollars, not to mention week taken off from work.

guv perry needs to accept responsibility, fire everybody in CPS and step down himself, and replace everybody with FLDS moms, would be a huge improvement.

2.4 Million dollars for buses? I thought that they used buses from local churches?
This was all just the government practicing rounding up people for no good reason.
