[efdcapt115 1,511]

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami-Dade County leaders and the Police Benevolent Association have reached a tentative agreement on cuts totaling $56 million.

“We want to bring this to an end, good, bad, or ugly,” said PBA President John Rivera.

The tentative deal will have to be voted on by the rank and file, but even with the cuts, it’s not enough.

The county has been asking for $73 million in concessions from the police to fill a budget hole.
