I hope Sheriff Ingram lays out a very clear picture of how this program will be financed. A helicopter program is VERY expensive, fuel, pilot, maintenance, etc. etc. I would not think right now is the time to take on a project of this magnitude when their are other priorities that need addressing. Deputy response time is still and issue as well as certain equipment needs. Lets watch this budget very closely. Sheriff Ingram made it a point to brag about how he reduced this years budget from what former Sheriff Hewett had requested, lets see if it stays that way. I would like to say this, I like the idea of our county having a chopper, but the time is not right. We should continue in the current partership.
