I am always concerned when I hear about public officials wasting taxpayers dollars, but when I hear about elected officials using those tax dollars to benefit themselves or their egos it makes me think an investigation is needed.
What I am referring to is the waste I have seen, as a former employee, in our Hays County Sheriff’s Office. There is of course that infamous “bat light” Sheriff Cutler had installed to illuminate his name, but he also had personalized decals placed on many of the windows with his name on them. In addition, why have we bought Sheriff Cutler two new vehicles in less than a year? No other Sheriff had his name emblazoned all over the county owned facilities nor did the taxpayers buy two vehicles for any sheriff in one year. And why does Sheriff Cutler allow use of county owned vehicles and county expense money for his staff’s personal use to drive back and forth to their homes in Travis County?
What else are our hard earned tax dollars being spent on in the Sheriff’s office?
