Hopefully our future head sheriff doesn’t take the position of rip off for the supervisors/planning department like the current sow.if he doesn’t want to extort the people of Humboldt at the cost of collapsing our local economy then he gets my vote.we all know that we need a new sheriff in town!!!!!!
