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. 

The act of giving back money that he can't spend means nothing to me.  Unless we dig into the jail prescriptions a little deeper to find a ploy to make him look better than he is.  Better yet, I was told the majority of this magical million dollar refund was unspent salary dollars.
