It seems everyone wants to push everything into the future (read "Next Administration" ) without providing for the increased costs of that action at every step until "the future."


A few years ago, the sheriff’s seat in the county I worked in was wide open. One of the guys running decided to gather up a bunch of DV warrants and have this big sweep. The local press was notified and they were on hand at the courthouse. We got a stack of 36 warrants and some where over 10 years old. For DV crimes no less. Only three arrests all day and all three were released with future court dates! Waste of time.
