Itty bitty remote controled blimps filled with hydrogen so they can observe us for days at a time. (If the hydrogen burns, nobody present to be scorched.) Put the video and audio feeds online (or even on TV) so we can all enjoy the view. (PAY PER VIEW?) Maybe even let the public suggest search areas when not actively performing law enforcement operations. On the other hand, that might cut into coming commercial endeavors.

Seems like he whines like another elected official I see on TV all the time. I thought Morgan grounded them when he got elected, how many times is he gonna take them out of service?

So what excuse does Morgan have now????? Let's face it. If it has a hint of scent from the McNesby admin', Morgan doesn't support it.. My how kids will play. Grow up man, the election has been over for years. I gave up a few years ago on thinking you may change things. You are no different than any other one that's been in there.

That person needs to release to the public the financials of the top paid officials, there are too many chiefs and not enough indians. So lets cut another crime fighting tool!!! Better yet, lets get rid of these top officials that are sitting on 35-40 years of service, draining the tax dollars, not being productive, sitting at a desk and put some more indians on the streets. It is time for re-election.... Most people have no clue what goes on at the Sheriff's Office, ignorance makes some people sleep easier.. Someone needs to do an internal audit on the Sheriff’s Office.

Where do you think grants come from? It ain't a private donation...it's tax dollars, yours and mine! Also, an aircraft can't "just be used for emergencies", it has to be flown on a somewhat regular basis for a variety of reasons, and that costs money. Don't get me wrong, I support having them, but it's not going to be free. Puddin said: “If the money was from a grant it wasnt costing the tax payers anything, right?”
