Sharon Bronson deflects her responsibility for appointing Sheriff Nanos, blames voters?

On yesterday’s Bill Buckmaster Show (video excerpt above), Pima County Supervisor Sharon Bronson was asked about her vote to appoint Chris Nanos to be the next Sheriff.

Bronson deflected and instead said that Sheriff Nanos is an elected official and it is up to the voters. However, Nanos has never been elected by the voters and if there was ever any vote that counted it would be that of Sharon Bronson joining with the majority to appoint Nanos to office (video below).

Of the top three people in the Pima Sheriff’s Department, after an FBI investigation was opened into possible corruption, one killed himself the day before he was to meet with the FBI, and the second-in-command just resigned yesterday.

The Star reported in February that the FBI was investigating Nanos, Radtke and former Chief of Staff Brad Gagnepain following the Star’s report about the cafe. Gagnepain committed suicide earlier this year.

When contacted for comment at the time, Nanos became upset, and said that he hadn’t been approached by the FBI, but an investigation would be a waste of taxpayer money.

Nanos was appointed Sheriff by the Board of Supervisors in July 2015 to complete the term of Clarence Dupnik.

During the past several months, the FBI investigation has been a focus of criticism of Nanos by political rivals. It was also discussed at a news conference last week by Dr. Richard Carmona, who leveled several criticisms of Nanos, citing what he called “reprehensible behavior.” He said many department employees — including himself — had been interviewed by the FBI.

Will any elected Democrats disavow their allegiance to Sheriff Nanos, or will they blindly stand by their own even after the police officers themselves are now jumping over the blue wall of silence and standing up against Nanos. Even if Nanos does get re-elected, morale amongst officers would be at an all time low, all thanks to the Democratic Machine that puts Party before the People… and Police.
