The County Commissioner voted 5-2 against the sheriff’s request for funding for new vehicles and additional deputies
On Thursday afternoon, The ABC County sheriff and County Commissioners met at ABC County to discuss equipment and personnel for the 2011 budget, and the sheriff requested for additional money for eight new vehicles to replace older ones and five more deputies . The Commission President Anne Chenn and four commissioners disagreed, but two commissioners agreed with the sheriff.
As the heated discussion continued, Commissioners, Anita Shenuski and Raymond Laybourne said the country should spend more money on law enforcement rather than the programs for migrant workers. Shenuski believed migrant workers take jobs from “decent” people by work the next to nothing. However, other commissioners disagreed that workers were kind and hard-working; who work jobs that the local residents would not want to work. By adding migrant workers, opposing commissioners felt the economy would be increased.
DiCesari said, "I can't buy anything. this is the first time in my 27 years as sheriff that the county hasn't allocated money to the sheriff's department to buy equipment." He also said letting the deputies drive the cars home decreased crime. Chenn suggested that deputies should not drive cars home to make cars more available and preserve mileage. Despite, Dicesari’s argument to request for new equipment was denied.
