Sheriff Lays Down the Law for El Dorado County Board of Supervisors.

Honorable Board of Supervisors

Ladies and Gentlemen

I'm here before you today for two reasons;

First, because you, the Board requested information regarding the staffing of my office and further information on my budget.
Undersheriff, Richard Williams and El Dorado County Sheriff Office Fiscal Administrative Manager, Don Ashton will be presenting those shortly.

Second, to tell you that I was appalled at the treatment and disrespect you showed me, my office and my staff after my presentation to you on April 5th•

Did you know that every county from tiny Mariposa to Alameda County has an Undersheriff and so did EDC? EDC only eliminated it for budget reasons when Undersheriff Fred Kollar was elevated to Sheriff in the interim after Neves quit and before the new Sheriff was elected. That was less then one year. It seems that insiderinpho is the only one inventing things.

@PlacervilleInfo Fair enough. So why was his brother-in-law the only one qualified?

[PlacervilleInfo]

@insiderinpho Not only, best. It is clear from his record north of sac that he is qualified experience wise, but that is not the only attribute, trust of your number two man is an important element also. Coming into a department with ingrained issues, I am not at all surprised that he would want someone that will have his back. It is well known that several of the Capts were supporting D'Agostini's rival for the job of Sheriff.

This board is a bunch of arrogant bastards that disrespect the County's staff on a weekly basis. They micromanage the entire County and create more work for the staff they are constantly reducing. Go Sheriff! Unfortunately it took an elected official that they can't fire to stand up to them. Sounds like the citizens of the County have had enough of this Board by the reaction of the audience.

Great power to the local! .. set them straight!

I don't live in that county or state, but I wish I could vote for that man!

Good for Sheriff D'Agostini! Very unusual to see a sheriff be so direct and call like it is. El Dorado County is fortunate to have this new sheriff.

watching Cops and being one are not the same. strap a gun on the board memeber and let him shag some calls.

@911SuperGamer ....Thanks, he just lost our votes. How rude.

[911SuperGamer]

RHaffer- the one namecalling and trying to shut down the Sheriff was Supervisor Ron Briggs. I hear they have a history of not playing nice with each other.

Who was that in the background that was trying to shut the Sheriff down?
