What does a LPN make hourly? $15.00 to $16.00 an hour? So that is a min. of $31,200.00 a year in salary alone, there are benefits above that number. If we take Olds figure of a savings of $10,000.00 a year. I am not really seeing the savings here. Am I wrong or is it bad money management to spend 31K+ a year to save 10K a year?

I am sure that this forum has garnered some attention in the offices of the Sheriff and Undersheriff. I am also sure that is what prompted them to have lawman sign up and begin posting here. I can understand supporting those that you believe in but be serious. To read lawmans posts you would think that he was nominating those two for cononization or at the least the establishment of a public shrine.
As for who I am or what my reasons are, anonymity is mine and I choose to keep it at this time.

Nice ploy lawman, but your speculation is misdirected and off course.

Bjnemp: Citing newspaper articles as authority isn't all that great. Sensationalism sells papers and that is their business. The guy is from the American Canine Assoc. not the pit bull assoc. he is offering facts not emotionally charged selected facts.
Come on, be serious.

Read this excerpt from a caninie expert:
Canine Genetics and Behavior
By Glen Bui, American Canine Foundation
" To state that a breed of dog is aggressive is scientifically impossible. Statistics do not support such a finding. Dogs have been
domesticated for thousands of years and within all breeds there can be dangerous dogs because of owner issues such as
training the dog to attack, lack of training and socialization.
There is no such thing as the "Mean Gene" in dogs as well as in people. However mutant genes have been discovered. Alteration
of a single DNA base in the gene encoding an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) has been found to render the enzyme
nonfunctional. This enzyme normally catalyzes reactions that metabolize the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and
noradrenaline. What this does is cause slight mental impairment which interferes with the ability to cope with certain situations
resulting in aggression. There is no proof and there never has been that the American Pit Bull Terrier possesses mutant genes.
There is a one in ten thousand chance of a mutant gene appearing in a population
Try to focus on the problem of dog owners that aren't responsible and not the dog.

By all means call the sheriff and get an appointment. If you make a contribution to the campaign you might get the changes that you seek.

Sometimes you have to roll the dice. They are better off being away from that department and Lyon County is good for them. It was really good for me.

I don't know if Larry Adams would be the best choice but it doesn't mean anything that he is still a LT. Some people get to a certain level and enjoy the work and don't want to move anywhere. There are some officers that have been on the streets for 20+ years that would have made excellent choices for higher ranks but love the job that they do so they stay there.
As for all of the openings, it appears that there has been a mass exodus from the department in anticipation of another term for the current administration. I know that quite a few people hung around anticipating this to be the last year of the Eichorn/Old show. Seeing that it wasn't going to be that way, they made the decision to move onto better things.

Jayhawker:
Math is not your strong suit I see. Without the cost of the nurse you will take $10,000.00 from County funds to pay for the care. If the nures saves the County 10,000.00 +/- then we are still paying out more than the original medical costs. I
31,000.00 salary
-10,000.00 savings
==================
21,000.00 spent over what you "saved"
The election is now been set, sorry that there wasn't another candidate to step forward. But that's the way that it goes.
