en This must be the only industry in the world where you can have a total novice, who has not even been in management for one year, being touted for the top job in English football. Would we say the next prime minister is going to be someone who has not even been elected as an MP (lawmaker) yet? No.

en It seems like every few years there's a state lawmaker who bites the dust. But in terms of a statewide officer, she may well be the first, or at least the first in a while.

en I think we need to send a message. Eight thousand dollars is 17 percent plus three percent cost of living is 20 percent for the sheriff and I think that's what we should recommend. The elected officials have information they deserve a similar raise but if we do that, I'm afraid the supervisors will cut that.
