This is another example of Sheriff Jim Neil reducing his inventory to save funds which
can be reallocated and used for more pressing needs during tough budget times. Since taking office in January of 2012, Sheriff Neil reduced the Marine Patrol fleet from five (5) boats down to two (2) boats. Sheriff Neil sold at auction the underwater Hydrospeeder commonly referred to as “The Submarine.” Now he transferred “The Tank,” and is exploring options to sell the semi-truck and trailer used to transport these large items.

So how is this being sold in Jackson County to the public that has to pay for it?
I think its been done on the down-low because this is the first I've heard of it and I can find no one around town who knows anything about it including our Mayor. Of course the Sheriff's office is not located here, it's ten miles down the road in the county seat.
But I've yet to find a single person who thinks this idea is based on rational thought.
