OH! I get it now!! This last election in my county had a measure on the ballot that would raise our property taxes in an extraordinary amount without explanation for exactly how that money would be used. The measure was supposedly to cover medical expenses of inmates. Who doesn’t want to help people who are suffering illness? There was a time when our county jail took in criminals from other places and made money through that service. I see it is another Deep Blue Oregon bait and switch!! Thank God the people saw through the ruse and we retained our conservative Constitutional Sheriff who stands up 2nd Amendment rights. I’m sure the Dem power players will run another measure next election in an effort to steal our rights through their lies.
What county do you live in? We lived in Clackamas County 1988-2020. Escaped when the rioters came to our neighborhood and the police were told to stand down.
Yep, much of Clackamas is rural and conservative and that didn’t fit into their Liberal long-term utopian plan. Columbia has some large private timber holdings so we might be able to hold them off for a while. No one wants to pay more property taxes in this horrible economy, but that never stops Liberals jerking us around for more control.
Sheriffs have served and protected the English-speaking peoples for a thousand years. The Office of Sheriff and the law enforcement, judicial and correctional functions he performs are more than 1000 years old. The Office of Sheriff dates back at least to the reign of Alfred the Great of England, and some scholars even argue that the Office of Sheriff was first created during the Roman occupation of England.
Around 500 AD, Germanic tribes from Europe (called the Anglo-Saxons) began an invasion of Celtic England which eventually led over the centuries to the consolidation of Anglo-Saxon England as a unified kingdom under Alfred the Great late in the 9th Century. Alfred divided England into geographic units called "shires", or counties.
In 1066, William the Conqueror defeated the Anglo-Saxons and instituted his own Norman government in England. Both under the Anglo-Saxons and under the Normans, the King of England appointed a representative called a "reeve" to act on behalf of the king in each shire or county. The "shire-reeve" or King's representative in each county became the "Sheriff" as the English language changed over the years. The shire-reeve, or Sheriff, was the chief law enforcement officer of each county in the year 1000 AD. He will still have the same function in the United States in the year 2000 AD.

WOW! Quite a history lesson. Democrats want the federal government and/or state governments to take over all law enforcement which are hired by politicians, eliminating sheriffs who are elected by We The People.
