You have got to be kidding right? McMahon spearheaded the helicopter program while he was Chief Deputy, second in command. It was his baby that's why he clung to it for as long as he has.

The next plan of "attack and criticism of the Sheriff" is why did it take him so long to do this? And what will he do with the money he gets for the helicopter. This administration of the sheriff's makes Sid Causey look like an open book in comparison. Ed has something to hide and it ain't his lack of intelligence, it's how we ended up with this thing in the first place.
