Ping - CCW permit corruption
Widely known in these parts that it was a pay to play. Only politically ($$$) connected were on the small list of lucky winners.

A Constitutionally Corrupt Sheriff and some sworn subordinates.

good. i hope they lock her up. vote Kevin Jensen for Sheriff.
laurie refused a relation’s ccw, applied for when she was working night shift and had to walk a deserted parking lot alone (yes she was chased at one point to her car). her reason for refusing the ccw: your situation doesn’t warrant one.
All of your relatives can remember this when sitting in a Jury Box, you can remind them.
This was an open secret the entire time she was Sheriff.
I want to know who she refused to pay off, that caused her to be brought to trial.
good news is the new sheriff may, possibly, actually process CCWs again. I doubt that, but I’ll have to try.
Good Luck.
