The local sheriff's office around here has bought themselves a super charged Monte Carlo to chase down low flying planes or something, I guess. Honestly, where is all this money coming from? Is business THAT good for them?

Our Sheriff bought a hummer right after (or just before) Hurricane Katrina. Said rescue personnel needed it to get through the "rough stuff" and deep water/debris in the event of a direct hit here
Sh!t I can get through all that crap with my 89 Landcruiser and a snorkle!
Best part was he bought it from a local dealer right off the lot instead of putting it out for bid
Said he didn't have time to wait
This was right after the boy wonders election as Sheriff
. Not sure if there was a discount involved, but I dont think so.
The flak finally settled abd with a little egg on his face, he went on. Hope he learned a little something though?
BTW, some of this money comes from federal grants, siezures and state appropriations. Didn't say where Tis guy got his $$??
