I’m not overly concerned with language coverage for non-native speakers. Sorry. Don’t want my tax dollars going to that.

That’s correct. I didn’t mean a “how could you!?” piece. But I’m assuming things aren’t radically different now.

I don’t believe the current Sheriff had been elected at the time of the piece.

Thanks for your coverage of the jail–between this, the MPRI story, the jail diary and your general coverage of county finances, I feel like I’m getting more depth than I normally would. It would good to connect the dots, and hear, say, the Sheriff’s reaction to the jail diary.

Every time I read what the Sheriff has said, I like him more and more. The thing I don’t like from Sanders is the assumption that all latino’s are immigrants and/or all immigrants are latino. Maybe I’m reading this wrong… but that’s how I read it. Also, legal immigrants can get social security numbers; so her statement should be that (i) an ILLEGAL immigrant cannot renew their license.
