Sheriff Joe in Hot Water Over Misspending Allegations

Voter-approved jail fund mismanaged?

PHOENIX - With his department under fire, accused of wasting taxpayer money, Sheriff Joe Arpaio still refuses to talk about the controversy publicly. County auditors say he misused as much as $80 million.

The sheriff wouldn't talk on camera about the budget allegations, but on the phone, he told us he has an explanation for everything -- but we'll have to wait for it.

Some say the sheriff is in a tough spot. Facing a firestorm of criticism over the budget, the normally camera-happy sheriff has gone underground. For a man who spends so much time in the spotlight, critics say the silence is telling.

"The fact that he's not willing to answer the tough questions, dodging interviews... He's the elected sheriff of this county, he should have the doors open," says outspoken Sheriff Joe opponent Dan Saban.

Maricopa County Auditor David Smith clearly stated there is no doubt that monies have been misspent. The money was to be spent on improving the jails, which never happened. Instead it was spent on lavish trips and Immigration sweeps.

He's just like his toady, NH U.S. Senate hopeful Kelly Ayotte, who has flip-flopped on Unconstitutional Immigration policies, as noted by Debbie Schlussel and Yours Truly. She screwed over the New Hampshire budget to the tune of $110M on the Tuttle/JUA cases, affirmed on appeal read it all right here, along with the FRM Ponzi scam she failed to catch as AG, and her coverup of the Franconia shooting tragedy, soon to be a Hollywood movie. BTW, Wisconsin cited the Tuttle/JUA case, in Wisconsin Medical v. Morgan, what a legal legacy for Kelly Ayotte to leave, ahem.

She also lied to the public about "winning" the Planned Parenthood case, when in fact she cut two $150,000.00 checks to Planned Parenthood Attorneys because the NH law was poorly drafted and didn't pass Constitutional muster. I have a copy of the checks right here.

For more on Joe Arpaio, Kelly Ayotte and the lecherous GOP carefully read this post and Stephen Lemons' columns in the Phoenix New Times, including this one with my video coverage of the NH GOP Joe Arpaio love-fest.
