Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

The plan may have changed, but I imagine it still put some pigs in a good home

Rule to live by: never under any circumstances trust any sheriff from Arizona.

Look, what's wrong with a few concentration camps between friends.

I don’t think id trust a sheriff anywhere, the office itself has way too much unchecked power

I agree completely. Never trust a sheriff and especially not an Arizona sheriff.

Before RTFA, I would guess the sheriff now has a nice house in Florida or something, paid by this fund?

Corporate partners were brought on and more than $1.5 million was raised for the project. . . . No new home for animals was built, the main corporate partner pulled out and no one seems to be able to account for what happened to more than $300,000 that had been raised.

I wonder what happened to the $90,000, I mean if I was given and extra $2,000 I would know where it was. In fact, if this is a problem, I'll just return the $17 bucks. Jeez.

TL;DR is record keeping very very terrible. Project speed was so bad pledged money was not donated when milestones were missed. Some money was returned and the rest vanished.
