on the other hand, the new guy may use some of his "honeymoon" political capital to secure higher wages for everybody as a payback for the union's support...something the old guy wouldn't be as motivated to do...
The budget for the dept is approved by the board of supervisors. Some liked Sniff, some like Bianco... and neither of them can make the board sh*t more money where there is none.
Where the board lost all respect was when they said they had no money, then gave over 40 MILLION to a firm called KPMG so they could crawl up the sheriff's ass and figure out where he could cut corners and save money for the county.
I got a stellar idea on how they could have saved 40 million...
