The sheriff is a salaried employee and therefore is always on duty. If other deputies were at the booth when you went by they were just there to say hi. You guys are really grasping to find anything to rip the sheriff on. Nothing changed from last election and I don't remember anyone having a problem with his uniform before. Really the guy helped create jobs and just because you didn't get one you're upset. The meth problem is almost gone. The cost of the jail is way down, and to that you say why does he wear his uniform? pretty weak
Sorry, I just can't let this one slide by. Salaried or not, all sworn Law Enforcement take an oath and are technically on duty all the time. (some more than others)
But stating that the meth problem is"almost gone" is like saying that the State Patrol has got a handle on the speeding problem on the Freeways. Sorry, not buying either one of those statements!
