The corrupt Board of Supervisors just placed Romley in this position because the previous County Attorney, a good conservative, resigned to run for another office.
I was doing a little bit of "reading up" on it, and it sounds like what has been going on here, for a while, is a political dog fight. This is a continuation of that long-standing political dog fight. I'm talking about Romley and Arpaio lobbing threats and accusations at each other for quite a while now ... LOL ... and you're not going to get "cooperation" with one another, when you're in the "political dog fight mode" ... :-)
The difference between them is: Arpaio obeys state, Romley does not obey state law.
