NWH streams LWV forum

If you weren't among the 80 or so people in the audience Monday night at the League of Women Voters' forum, you can watch portions of the forum on the Northwest Herald website at
http://ssm.nwherald.com/northwest-herald/video/20101025sheriffsforum/sheriff-candidate-forum/

Notice how Nygren avoided answering the moderator's question about the cost of the jail bed rental program; all he talked about was the amount of money brought in - not what the moderator asked about- the cost.

When those rental beds disappear, if the Feds yank out all the ICE detainees and move them to lower-cost detention, not only will the County's income disappear but the costs of operating a large, vacant jail area will continue.

Did you all recite the pledge of allegence before the debate????

Yes, the LWV forum started with the Pledge of Allegiance. The moderator amended the agenda. Mike Mahon and I were ready to lead the Pledge, if she hadn't done so.
