I am of the mind that we all pay our share of taxes already. I can not see how some official agency doing their funded job really drives much additional cost. Helicopters fly training missions all the time, personal are on duty and so on. Maybe we should ground the birds and lock up the sheriff's office until they are needed then pay them for their services only, instead of paying for the flying club and the cruise to the coffee shop 365 days a year with our tax dollars.
