Jeff Perry Costing Us $215,000 So Far
Barnstable County's Sheriff's Office Denied Funding

How's that bring-in-Jeff-Perry-to-help-secure-funding strategy working for ya?

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick spoke volumes without saying a word as he distributed funding to local Sheriffs yesterday. 13 of the 14 departments took in $104,000, with the sole exception being Barnstable County.

The Barnstable County Sheriff's Office caused howls of indignation across the Commonwealth- and especially on Cape Cod- when Jeff Perry was hired as a $110,000/year Special Sheriff. Perry, a failed Congressional candidate, is best known for his role in a Wareham Police Department scandal involving a subordinate officer to Perry who committed several attacks on area children.

1. I thought moving to the other side of the Canal

would get me away from the mainland dickheads. Wrong again. We were so happy when he lost his congressional race, now this. But I have also just come to realize that Barnstable County is infested with right wingers. The Cape Cod Tomes online polls consistently show teabagger, Limbaugh, and Beck mind-control tendencies, so Perry is on home turf down here.
