COMPROMISE?
Are you talking about nothing changing except for the Sheriff submitting a form stating what he would spend the money on, yet he does not have to follow that form. That is all that has change from the way it is currently handled. The question no one has asked is; How did the Commissioners lose control of this fund in the first place? I understand they misspent the money, so has the Sheriff. I also know that the common citizen can not spark an investigation by the Justice Dept. Because I and many other have called asking for one. So who called to spark that investigation. Oddly enough it is the same time frame that Charlie Smith slips the law through the state that gives the deputies a right to be county commissioners.
So I ask again anyone know who sparked the original investigation into the drug fund that gave control to the Sheriff?
Regardless, if the law was followed we would not be have this talk. Maybe a wavier authorization was given, that is why I have file an open records request to get all of them. I am sure the Sheriff would like me to post them so everyone will know that he had the authorization to spend the money to pay the inmates and send them to southern California. I would think.

This is not an attack on the Sheriff. This is an attempt to work with the Sheriff and get HIS message out. He said he had permission to use the money in the mannor he has, so as soon as they send me the info I will post it. It will prove that the Sheriff was right.
But if I receive another song and dance response it will prove there was no permission and that he lied.
The Sheriff is the one that called for the Justice Dept. to do the only audit ever done by the Justice Dept. on the Shared Assets Funds, when the Commissioners had it in their possession. Don't remember the year but it was in the mid to early ninety's.
Why don't they have a 'special committee' to handle this money and take it away from the sherriff AND the county commission...who have clearly abused the privilege of being trusted to handle funds? But...be very aware of who goes on the committee!!!
