"nor will I allow Federal or State Officers to disarm law abiding citizens in my jurisdiction."

Funny how all the alphabet bureauthugs and State blues/greenies are specifically mentioned, isn't it?  While Guv BloomNerd with his I ♥ ObamaCare, and LaHood slightly higher-speed rail love is still in office, that's actually not a bad thing to firmly state to Lansing.  The Nerd showed his ass on the SB 59 veto.  He swore an Oath too.

Did a quick look through the blog.  I also like how Sheriff Marks, tells his constituents that his expenses are covered, so don't go letting anyone Bee esS you into any tax hikes.

The road patrol is currently staffed and funded to meet current and future requirements.  Sheriff Kenny Marks will not ask you to raise taxes!  The County Board of Commissioners can make the choice to reduce your taxes by lowering the general fund operating millage or they can use the budget surplus to fix our roads. They have the choice, because the Emergency Response Division/Road Patrol is no longer dependant on supplemental funding from the General Fund. That supplemental funding, previously used for maintaining 24-hour road patrol is now avaliable for other uses or a tax cut!

God bless ya, Sheriff Marks.
