Thanks for telling me what PERS is. The post above sounded reasonable but for the fact I had no idea what was being talked about.
OK, so the budgets are screwed up, and it’s at both ends (income from timber, outgo to benefits to the masters), but politicians blaming just the one end is not uncommon. I just think the Sheriff is being petulant when he says “If you want police protection you’re going to have to pay.”
I also find it incredible there is a Sheriff’s Department that only operates M-F, 9-5. Sorry about the rape, but we’ll take a report in the morning.
I know that man personally...
