Maybe he has/had a rich wife or inherited money. It DOES happen.
.
Or maybe it’s the the usual case of simply paying unionized people in government, like cops, water and power, fire fighters, city council members, mayors, et al, way to much and the same reason why it’s driving counties, cities and states straight into the poor house and why they have to keep raising their effing taxes.
Maybe. Or maybe some valuable “evidence” went missing from the lockup when he was around...
True.
I knew a guy in Law Enforcement whose wife made much more than he did.
He said he could never afford to be in Law Enforcement if his wife did not have the income.
He did the Law Enforcement because he loved it so much.
IMHO, he was a real A-hole on a power trip. But that is just my opinion.
Maybe the Bentley was taken as an asset forfeiture, and he had inside knowledge of the sale, or auction, or whatever...
