Lately they seem to be able to do nothing more then overspend the taxpayers' money. This is the third time in the last year that the Sheriff's Office has overspent their budget. They have established a pattern of overspending thier budget, the County Auditor helping them hide it for a short time, then it finally becoming public knowledge 2 months after they went into the hole. Yet I have to laugh, because these same people who have gone in the hole on their budget 4 out of the past 5 months questioned Marshal McNamara on his ability to manage the budget. <br /><br />I hope the Commissioner quickly act and stop our lame duck Sheriff and his patsy Chief Deputy from continueing to abuse the county taxpayers as they have done. They used this latest overspending to help secure an endorsement from the Hewitt Police Association, the main department benefitting from the over spending on part time security, just like the overspending on outside care for inmates bought him the help of CEC and their mysterious white vans. I'd love to see the Texas Rangers investigate our current Sheriff and Chief Deputy before the Sheriff disappears into his luxary retirement and his Chief Deputy goes to Baylor DPS to start overspending their to live high on the hog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037574845472013477.post-12294544629832768642012-06-12T16:02:19.658-05:002012-06-12T16:02:19.658-05:00The issue here is not as puzzeling as one would th...The issue here is not as puzzeling as one would think. The administration as far back as Jack Harwell has had an adversarial relationship with the commisioners court. "keep em in the dark and feed em Sh**" was the phrase used many times. The difference now in the day and age of public access is that people are asking too many questions and its becoming exposed. Harwell never attempted to bring the S.O into the modern age of law enforcement with advanced equipment, fascilities, and officers. To Lynch's credit he began with the right idea of doing just that....HOWEVER,,,,he WAS TRAINED OR RATHER RAISED BY THE HARWEL ADMIN. So it wasnt long before the adversarial relationship became even more strained because the S.O began expenditures to try and create a dept to be proud of,,,,,and did not feel they had to "explain" themselves and when they tried the comissioners were predisposed to be resistant. Shady deals, lying, and misdirection ensued and the relationship became EVEN MORE tainted and is broken beyond repair. The new administratin should seize the chance to start fresh and get off on a positive note to fix what could be a good relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037574845472013477.post-89463612226889918992012-06-12T09:38:59.342-05:002012-06-12T09:38:59.342-05:00Not sure if the county can afford to have Lynch an...Not sure if the county can afford to have Lynch and Plemons sitting down there for the next seven months. It's a scary thought! I feel sorry for the incoming Sheriff. He will have to clean up Lynch's mess for years to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
