You've already decided this? Good grief.

I have very little faith in any elected person. However, this guy should be able to cut MCSO spending (and liability) and if and when that happens, I'll be grateful.

Not setting the bar too high though.

Maybe you can convince Sheriff Joe to saddle up and run for office again in four years. I wouldn't put it past him.

I think my official invite got lost in the mail.

Though snowbirds are sure "encouraged" which teeters on invited perhaps?

Bingo.

Though let's have higher expectations from him than just cutting spending like enforcing all laws in our county that he has sworn to do upon taking office as that's his primary job/what he signed up to do.

I'll give him the shot he deserves

I'll also expect him to remember the ' OATH ' he took for the office
and hope that Soros & Maricopa Strong don't have an influence
with their agenda...time will tell

Remember, the sheriff's office's primary responsibilities in any county are to run the jails (including transporting inmates to and from court), do primary law enforcement of state law and county ordinances (enforcing federal law is NOT his direct responsibility) in uninicorporated areas of the county, and do some service of process and eviction enforcement for the courts.

Absolutely agree though in regards to the federal law aspect, he still has a job to turn over illegal aliens/those that are discovered to be here illegally in Maricopa County to the proper federal authorizes(ICE I believe?). If he does this/what he signed up to do and play by the rule of law and stops playing political theater/using PC words like "guest", we'll be ok though with any politician, I'm realistic and know that's asking the impossible.

"Guest" = the new watered down undocumented immigrant which started off as illegal alien. Yep, going backwards to PC fantasy land/political theater JG, indeed.

And words often are a prelude to one's actions. We shall see, yes, give him a chance/we have no choice, but I've seen this movie before.

Illegal Aliens > Undocumented Immigrants > Guests > Honored Dignitaries > Dark Overlords of the Universe
