Joe Arpaio throws David Hendershott and Larry Black under the bus (apartment, cost)

We knew they day was coming and it went down like most expected. Which is Arpaio saving his own by shifting blame to his underlings. Maybe these two feel slighted and will open the books up on Joe. We can only hope so...


Sheriff Joe Arpaio fires two top MCSO aides

The news hasn’t shown all of what was in the investigation yet. It’s going to be very interesting but not surprising, those at the top of MCSO all seemed to be on the questionable side of ethics. I hope there can be some prosecutions that can come from this.

The buck stops with that guy!

I understand what the article claims Hendershott did.
What about Black?
What will come out about Joe?
The rest of the country thinks he's a hero for the things he's done in the past.

The rest of the country thinks he's great because they only hear a small part of the whole story. They haven't heard, and frankly would not care, what he has cost the taxpayers of this county.

Here's to hoping.

I doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if they or their spouses run a "small business" that contracts out to the county. I'll have to pick up a copy of the New Times next time I get gas to get the real story. They do a great job of digging into the MCSO.

But they are easily replaceable. The fact that the boss got away with it essentially means Arpaio wins again. Let's face it, Arpaio is untouchable. How many times has he been sued? How many federal investigations has he been under? Yet despite all of this, he manages to evade punishment.

I'm not a fan of Arpaio but you have to call it like it is. The man is untouchable regardless of what your opinion of him is. He is Al Capone but unlike Capone, Arpaio won't get busted for mail fraud or some other trivial offense. He is going to ride into the sunset.

Since I'm not one to have people search for my apartment, I did some looking around the net, and can't some up with more than a misuse of funds investigation, and some comical photos that people are doing of him.
When you say what he's cost the taxpayers, doesn't the budget have to be approved?
Can he just grab more money and spend at will?
