    Angry Sheriff Balkwill accused of state ethics violation

    In the lawsuit over the $9 million deal, Balkwill has not shown up for depositions.

    In all, Armor spent about $1,500 to see Balkwill three times -- a meeting at Cafe L'Europe, at Sam Snead's Tavern and the fishing trip to Lake Okeechobee.

    Everybody has heard of Hardcastle because of his poor record as sheriff of Sarasota County. Balkwill will be remembered for too long as well. :roll:

    Sing it with me:
    hey hey hi ho, Balkwill has got to go!
    hey hey hi ho, Balkwill has got to go!
    hey hey hi ho, Balkwill has got to go!
