Sheriff re election

[reich]

I am requesting again for your support this year for my re election to the position of Sheriff. I totally support the second amendment and have been an NRA member and police firearms instructor over 30 years. Our permit cost is $25 as set by law. I am NFA friendly and have signed numerous NFA applications. On the other side of the office, I have cut out vehicles and also positions for a savings to the taxpayer of a quarter of a million dollars in my first 3 years in office. My door is open to all.

Count me in! Do you know (without mud slinging- that is not your style ) what are some of Stuby's positions? He will not returm my calls. That speaks for itself!
Just as an FYI Sherrif R, I did not know you were running again, as I have only seen 1 yard sign for you recently while Stuby has roughly 2 million and thet ungodly display on his vehicle!
Thank you for your service and good luck. As I said, you can count on me!

Trying to keep costs down. Politics is very expensive to run for office, which is a shame. Both of us will get our prospective party nod in primary election. The fall election is where one of us is elected and ads will be more prevalent and a lot more money spent. Stuby basically wants to go back to how it was before my election. I am of the opinion we must stop spending unneccesary money and keep the office as cost effective as I am now doing. Thanks for the support!

How do you feel about the Constables in your county? One way to keep your costs down is to allow the Elected Constables do their fair share of the work. In my own county, I am told that the Sheriff is always trying to expand his department and add more deputies, which of course costs more.

One thing he did do is get a donated school bus and now most of the MDJ hearings are held at Central Court and the bus transports a dozen prisoners from the jail using only two deputies. It took money from the Constables that were doing most of the transports, but it probably is more efficient.

How do you feel about patrolling on horseback?

Good luck on your bid for re-election.

I'm not a resident down there, but I'm in the area every once in a while.

The only thing I'd ask of you is to do private transfers of "firearms"(handguns) for those 18-<21 since you are allowed to do them legally and since FFL's cannot do them due to federal law. There wouldn't be a conflict in interest or taking business from local dealers since they cannot do them.

Doing these transfers that FFL's can't do would look good towards your pro-gun nature.

We have one constable for county. Some others come into area to help. The only prisoners that we move are for our criminal central court. Summary court/Magistrate hearings are for the arresting officer to do. I gave that back to the police as I did when I was one. Our constable is responsible for the rest of Magistrate's work. I cut 10 deputy slots and do more with less. Spending has to be curtailed somewhere. That was my stance from my first thoughts of running. The horse patrol...I don't think my back/body could take it.

Cost to drop to $20 this coming Monday?

Well, our general assembly seems to think it's the 11th (Wednesday), I don't know why.

But yes, it's supposed to drop and the behind the scenes groups who were resisting efforts to get to the correct fee before are now pushing to do things properly.

I'll be able to update the forum on developments with HB1153 in due time (it's reported to the full house, but stalled because as anyone can see necessary changes were never made to it). That's actually a good thing right now that it's stalled for possible changes, not a bad thing, but I can't fully explain the situation.

I won't be making that update in this thread, of course.

Pssst....I wanted Reich to answer that...

Can't help you Berk's County people, sorry. The drop in permit costs??? Well ,I know this will shock the pants off some of you, but after having to switch to a new mandated permit system and dealing with state bureaucratic red tape to jump those hoops, don't be surprised if there isn't a stupid twist somewhere on the date and cost. No, I don't know anything secret just saying. Sorry to be fragmented on answers but this campaign stuff is miserable and am out nightly. I am not a very good politican, I'm just someone who was honored to be elected and am trying to do what's needed in office I'm not trying to blow smoke just the facts.
