A Few Questions for Frank

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson takes his budget before the City-Council Public safety Committee. Anderson will likely argue against proposed cuts today, saying they will harm public safety and result in early releases from the jail.

Of course this is also the same Sheriff whose original budget request was $111 million.  It’s $86 million now.

And this is also the same Sheriff whose last budget was underfunded by $4 million because he failed to take into account salary increases that his office negotiated and the Council had to bail him out Monday night.

And I thought Lawrence Mayor Paul Ricketts had some explaining to do.
