Benson is that you???? You are an idiot. You really are. First of all I personally know a bunch of NHSO employees that are not members of the Sheriff's Assoc and they have received their yearly raises with no problems. Now, if you were talking about buying tickets for that fundraisers, while that might be a little questionable, the Sheriff himself has nothing to do with those funds. There is a committee that is set up and they are the ones that control the money for that fund. The Sheriff has no say in it.
