Rick Beseler refunded a million dollars to the county stating that it was his sound fiscal policies, changing the prescription methods for inmates in the jail (a savings of $600K), no natural disasters and lower than expected fuel costs.  I would really like to know several things.  Number 1, the jail prescription method was changed a couple years ago.  But, they have switched back.  So is the savings he is referring to from last year and now we are paying $600K more?  Or, did his switch back to the previous provider result in a $600K a year savings, which would mean we overpaid as taxpayers due to his mistake for switching in the first place?  Number 2, Refunds from not experiencing natural disasters do not impress me.  That money should not be spend anyway.  It should go back to the county.  Number 3, lower than expected fuel costs?  Okay, I got it.  But, where is the magical feat here that shows me Sheriff Beseler has done a good job. 

I saw on the news tonight and later on the internet that Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler (along with Sheriff Rutherford and Seagraves) endorsed Angela Corey for State Attorney.  While I have no problem with the endorsement, I do question his lack of integrity and consistency regarding political endorsements. 

Isn't this the man that recently told the Fraternal Order of Police and the public that he felt the FOP was being premature to endorse a candidate for Sheriff in his race?  I find it very suspect that he has concern over an endorsement in his race and cites it "premature", but has no problem endorsing Angela Corey whose race will run simultaneous to his own.
