Clark Co. Sheriff's Dept. Too Much Corruption ...Time for a Change

Maybe corruption is too strong a word maybe incompetence is a better choice, but we need a change in the Clark Co. sheriff's  department. Alleged but pretty much known heavy drug usage in the Clark Co. jail, sheriff's dept employees being arrested and either getting a slap on the wrist or the case just quietly disappearing, sheriffs dept. employees with a sense of entitlement. These are just a few of the things that brings the BatBlog to the conclusion that changes are needed.

 Current Sheriff Danny Rodden exudes the "aw shucks, good ole boy, nice guy" persona but that hides a tenure of incompetence almost to the point of corruption. We had his chosen successor blabbing (on tape)to a financial supporter how he would appoint him as deputy and all he had to do was "play golf" and pull down 70K. The jail run by  Rodden is a cesspool of drug use and just search the News/ Tribune archives for the last 5 years and see how many "Sheriff's Dept" employees have been arrested.

 Nothing against Brian Meyer the recent Dem. primary winner, but it's time to have a shakeup from the current administration and give someone with out ties to the current department a chance to correct the mess we have now. Two unassociated to the dept., qualified candidates Noel and Spainhour will be on the ballot this fall, the choice is yours. We rid ourselves of Jacobi and Perkins let's clean up the sheriff's Dept. as well.
