Hey, Ed, I’d like to know why “appointed sheriff’s officers” who are too dumb to pass the test start out with a salary of $60,000 a year while the sheriff’s officers who took the test and passed start out at $35,000. It also appears that some of these appointed sheriff’s officers are allowed to drive police vehicles to and from work. I calculate I use about $35 a week in gas. Nice little perk for these appointed officers on top of these outrageous salaries.

Testy

Perhaps the appointed officers have qualities that don’t show up on tests.—Ed. Note
