Sheriff Morgan appears to be grasping at thin straws while treading on shaky ground.
If he loses his budget appeal to Gov. Scott will he resign to prepare his run for the Mayor of Pensacola?

All this blame game going on is odd to say the least. It makes one wonder if the Sheriff Department might do better to look at themselves as the reason so many deputies are leaving and to take personal responsibility internally to deal with perhaps budget and management problems. You can only cast blame outside for so long and when these allegations are discredited at every turn and drama being stirred up it looks like an internal problem that may need to be addressed. When will we here from the Governor? Bergosh Blog is interesting. He seems to have a lot of courage. A lot of people are afraid to call out law enforcement especially if they are corrupt, because they are also so powerful.

I mean they did get a raise, many benefits, chance for retirement….car, band of brothers and so on. I suspect a “new sheriff in town” will do wonders for the morale of the street deputies and the citizens.

The wind in Thelbert’s sail has finally started to not blow. The only problem is that it’s taken this long for people to figure out just how full of hot air he has been. I for one at one time thought he may do a decent job as Sheriff but it only took about 2 years to figure out he had no idea what he was doing. Had he not surrounded himself with people that did know how to police, he wouldn’t have made it this long. If he can’t see himself winning another election, I don’t see him running again. He wouldn’t be able to accept getting beat in a run off. He’s more of a “here’s the key” kind of person because I’m just tired and want to retire or something of the such. His personality is that I left being unbeatable or I’ve got the Office on track now from where it use to be and my job is done. He’s so ate up with himself to the point that he’ll have to take one of the above avenues. For the sake of the men/women who still have to work there, one can only hope he takes people like David Craig, David Ingram etc.. with him when he goes. I think it would be safe to say that once a new admin’ comes in after Thelbert, people like the above ones will get no respect/authority and the tax payers of Esc’ Co’ will foot the bill for these useless people until they’re either fired, quit or retire. Thanks to all the men/women who’ve had to put up with the crap for all these years and just come to work every day knowing that one day, you’re not going to have to look at either of these people again in the hallways of the Office. You all take care and be careful.

So the Sheriff’s office doesn’t know the law ?
Me either.

Now our beloved Sheriff knows that about the law too. A lawyer to advise in the future might reduce confusion.

It’s a learning curve.

David for clear laws
