Let's remember that our GOP dominated Legislature recently passed a bill outlawing local taxpayer oversight of County Sheriff offices. This is scary stuff, people!

At least one state, Texas, canceled credit for the sheriffs’ training after determining the course content – which it said included a reference to “this is a war” – was more political than educational. But other states, such as Tennessee, have approved the training, in part because it was hosted by a local law enforcement agency.
