In case you were wondering where the Sheriff stood
On the charter amendments, that is.
UPDATE: Well, it's gone. I guess someone decided it wasn't a good idea.
I'm back in town, btw, so there should be more updates this week.
Channel 5 did a big expose' last night about the Sheriff violating state law by using his government web site to advocate voting against ballot measures. That's why he probably yanked it.

the sheriff's department yanked it out of politeness, not because of the law (which they did not violate). at least someone has some class around here.
