Statutorily funding an elected Metro Dade sheriff

[Unregistered]

The former elected Miami Dade sheriff was abolished several decades ago, due to corruption and politics, but maybe things will be magically different this time? Maybe the former corruption was anomalous? And maybe Broward County's suspended sheriff is just an anomaly?

No son, nothing will "magically" change. Instead of flies buzzing around county commissioners, the flies will be furiously buzzing around the elected Miami-Dade sheriff. He or she will be a magnet for graft, which will remain undetected i.e. only the stupid ones get caught. Welcome to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

True, should Miami-Dade voters elect Gimenez sheriff. Supported by his Hialeah ally and personally selected heir apparent, Commissioner Esteban Bovo, Miami-Dade County would be going back to the future and not in a good way. We hope not.
