Letter: Douglas County Sheriff Campaign
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 10/20/2014 - 4:25pmThe Dave Brady for Sheriff campaign claims that “public safety dollars are NOT being spent wisely” by Sheriff Perini. I want to say that I believe that this claim is a clearly false and misleading statement. Here is why. The claims expressed in a recent Brady campaign brochure stated the sheriff’s annual budget had “skyrocked” from $3.1 million in 1986 to $16.0 million. While the raw numbers appear correct, Brady’s analysis and interpretation are very wrong. At first blush the increase seems astronomical and that is what Brady wants you to think.
