So tomorrow in Fountain Hills, supporters of The Most Publicity-Desperate Sheriff in America will hold a rally and march (you can read about it here).

While they march for Joe, I wonder if they’ve kept track of how much dough Joe’s cost us in the last week.

Let’s see, that’d be $975,000 in the trumped-up animal abuse case against the Chandler cop, who promptly sued the Sheriff — meaning us — and won that amount.

And yesterday, courts ordered the Sheriff — meaning us, again — to pay the Republic and Channel 12 $45,000 in attorney’s fees because MCSO refused to turn over the Pinal County investigative report of the MCSO, despite the fact that the report was a public record. 

Total charged against Joe for the week?  $1,020,000.

Total paid by Joe?  0

Total paid by taxpayers, including Joe’s supporters marching for him tomorrow?  $1,020,000.

But a million is chicken feed for Joe — he’s cost us tens of millions during his too-long reign of error and terror.

His supporters’ response:  Joe’s the only one who enforces all the laws all the time.

Except, of course, for the laws he ignores — all the time.
