Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis wants to purchase a $98,000 boat to protect Cincinnati/Ohio River from terrorist attacks.......
I don't even know what to say, Hamilton County already has 4 smaller patrol boats and has purchased 3.3 million worth of vehicles since 2002. The county has two helicopters, and multiple police cars that officers take home. He has cut officers in Over the Rhine as it is too costly, and done a multitude of other things a quick search can find.
The enquirer is running a poll, do you think he should get the boat, over 82 percent say NO. If that is not democracy, what is? Ohio River being attacked by terrorist sheriff? I don't have to be out of grade school to realize that is ridiculous. And if it happens, what is a 28 foot fishing boat going to do?
It's amazing to watch government officials use their institutions as companies and abuse taxpayer dollars. A perfect example of poor leadership, I think Sheriff Leis should not get the boat and should be asked to resign.
Kudos to Greg Hartmann for standing against this outrage.

WOW. In the event that the Sheriff wants to keep his job he should quit vying for this boat. What a ridiculous bunch of shit.
Let's be honest. Our buddy just wanted to go fishing and "terrorist attacks" is the best cover up he could think of. Unfortunately, his little cover up was quite an eye opening line and was outed by some concerned cincinnatians.
