It should be interesting to watch what the Sheriffs due in NY and how the Governor responds.
Maybe the Sheriffs in CA. need to get a set of balls too and stand up to Sacramento!
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo invited representatives of the New York State Sheriff's Association to meet with him and discuss issues with the recently passed "SAFE Act." At least that's what the sheriffs thought the meeting would be about.
But instead, according to this article in the Albany Times Union, Cuomo told the sheriffs to cease and desist expressing their wide-ranging comments in opposition to many of the law's provisions. "The governor was of the opinion that the sheriffs around the state should not be interjecting their personal opinions in reference to the law," according to one attendee.
News flash to the governor: That cat is out of the bag, since both the Sheriff's Association and several individual sheriffs have joined the litigation against the new law. But the governor isn't out of options yet. No meeting attendee was willing to confirm this, but at least one source says that Cuomo threatened to use an obscure power of the governor's office to remove sheriffs from office.
