A problem when counties are funded by property taxes and the Fed own 70% of the land.

Wonder if 1minute can provide a bit of color to this story.

Harney County sheriff plans to resign, citing funding concerns

Why didn't he do what Dallas, Tx did and simply quit responding to "petty" crimes.... could save a bundle

Oh wait , maybe he has a thing called "integrity" ?

Bumping in case 1minute might like to comment.

Not enough money for basic services, but by Gawd welfare is safe and secure!

Is he not getting enough PILT money?



Jeezus....you would think he is the only rural Sheriff that is short on money...


Just quit ya big fugging baby.....

I'm guessing there's more to it than any one thing. That's how dicey things go, it's usually a combination of things but the soundbite is only one.
