He did it again. This morning at the Board of Supervisors' Meeting, Sheriff Hamp started yelling at the Board of Supervisors because the Board decided that the three new employees he had already hired would not be placed on the County payroll because the Sheriff was over his budget.
Apparently, Hamp doesn't have a good grasp of what he can spend and what he can't. The Sheriff's budget this year under department 200 is $6,358,375.11 and from what the County Administrator stated, Hamp is over his budget. And...Hamp didn't think he had to come back to the Board and ask to increase his budget? He thought he could just spend it and not be questioned?
Go back and read the 15 Aug 2012 entry on this blog. From memory, I think this posting has Hamp saying he has never come back to the Board for more money. No kidding. Apparently, Supervisor Burnett thinks if gas, etc. goes up, we need to just automatically give the Sheriff more money. How long has this guy been a Supervisor?
And so, just why didn't Board President Dunn tell Hamp he was out of order? Citizens aren't allowed to act like that so why can the Sheriff? President Dunn, this is a Board of Supervisors' Meeting. Please tell the Sheriff to take a seat with the rest of us and shut his mouth.
