WTF U Doing, Lady? AZ Governor Yanks Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Immigration Money
What the fuck is wrong with this lady? What the hell has she been drinking? What illegal aliens has she been fucking?
Oh no, wait a minute…shes’ been fucking DMX…right?
This is an outrage.
I cannot believe this! It’s like saying to the troops in Iraq :”No more money for you, but you stay and fight anyway.”
Fucking insane. Or am I overreacting to this dumb cunt? Remember, this woman insisted that the state Christmas tree be called a Holiday Tree…remember that story we ran last Christmas?
Seeing red right now…seeing red…
Much of the money for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration-enforcement efforts lately has poured out of a special pool of state money.
But New Times has learned that Governor Janet Napolitano’s turning off the spigot.
In what appears to be a prelude to a major fight between Napolitano and Arpaio, the governor issued an executive order last week to develop a new task force–headed up by the state Department of Public Safety–to find and arrest tens of thousands of felons with outstanding warrants.
And, according to a letter from DPS Director Roger Vanderpool to Arpaio outlining the new effort, the task force will be funded with the money that Arpaio isn’t getting anymore.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted just last week to renew an agreement between the DPS and the Sheriff’s Office that would’ve allowed Arpaio to obtain $1 million in special funds for fiscal year 2009, which starts in July.
A review of receipts and requests for reimbursement from the Sheriff’s Office shows that most of the money obtained last year was used to pay the salaries and overtime expenses of deputies involved in immigration enforcement. The state funds also were used to lease numerous vehicles from Fox Rent A Car and also to purchase radios and other equipment.
But the letter from Vanderpool explains that, although the county wants the agreement renewed, the state won’t do it “because of limited resources.”
Napolitano’s been criticized for failing to take a stance on Arpaio’s immigration sweeps, but it seems now that she’s been quietly working on a plan to hit the sheriff where it hurts: in the pocketbook.
Whether the governor’s tactic of escalation works politically remains to be seen. Recent polls show that most county residents still approve of Arpaio’s methods, despite criticism that he’s racially profiling practically anyone who’s skin’s brown as a potential illegal alien–notably American citizens.
Arpaio’s also been lambasted for his failure to serve thousands of felony arrest warrants, choosing instead to expend a large amount of his office’s resources on rounding up real and perceived illegal aliens.
Napolitano’s executive order states that the new task force “will immediately deploy” detectives to go after the unserved felony warrants, “with priority on gang-related felonies and undocumented aliens with felony warrants.”
Dennis Burke, the governor’s chief of staff, tells New Times that Arpaio’s go-it-alone attitude, combined with the need to round up fugitive felons, led to Napolitano’s decision.
Sheriff’s officials “were supposed to be sharing intel with us, they were supposed to be coordinating with us, and the Sheriff’s Office was thinking it was just a blank check,” Burke says.
Arpaio’s flacks haven’t immediately responded to New Times’ request for an interview with the sheriff, or with any other knowledgeable MCSO official, about this evolving story. The fireworks should be starting anytime now…

May 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pmAren’t there any conservatives in the US with deep pockets who could donate 1 mil to the sheriff? There are lots of business people around who thinks a million bucks is like pocket change. If you’re one of those and you’re reading this, it’s time for you to step up to the plate and help our country.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:43 pmLived in maricopa….sheerif joe is the man,isnt the first time the state has “hindered”him,if he beleives in it,he will find a way to do it.When he was first elected,he asked for some money(cant remember how much,but it was a huge amount)to build a bigger jail,cause of over-crowding…they said “No,make due”so he turned around got 4-5 military tents from luke air-force base…..put em up aroung the jail,but a fence around it,and he had his bigger jail.Jail was looseing money because inmates were walking out with underwear and socks(dont know why you would want their undeis back)so ol joe died everything pink,even ending up MAKEING money selling pink underwear and socks.He was spending un-godly amounts of money on food…state didnt wanna increase the amount spent,what did he do?they get water,and day old bologney samaches(free from the store,cause the expo date expired,still good food,just legally couldnt sell it anymore)when he took office the re-offense rate was 30 some percent,after all his joeism’s,it about half that.Dude should run for president.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:48 pmnope, you’re definitely not overreacting. I feel you on this subject. the governor must be a moron or LaRazas sex toy. or both
May 13th, 2008 at 4:49 pmI wish Bash would say what he really thinks. Don’t hold back. …by the way, I agree 100%.
May 13th, 2008 at 4:49 pmDoes this mean that she is committing political suicide?
May 13th, 2008 at 5:07 pmRemember, government that’s the closest to home is what the Founders warned us we should try to achieve.
People can’t take what you have away unless they are giving it, or they come in force. Sheriff is a County job, just about as local as it can get; good for Joe.
However, there’s a little opening, here:
Napolitano ‘needs’ the funding for something else, supposedly, that will allow her to enforce warrants outside of Maricopa County. OK, fine; 200,000 people sending $5 each gets Joe his funding, but now…Napolitano has to perform. She can’t disappear her program if Sheriff Joe keeps performing, even after she cuts the funding.
It’s actually a chance to get her to have to at least pretend to use money for enforcement, plus keep Joe in business.
I’ll give $5, for the good of local government. I’m pretty sure another 199,999 Americans would give $5, just to make the statement.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:10 pmDoes this stupidity have no limits? What the hell crawled up that witches britches and died? What possible reason can any semi-intelligent person give for allowing illegals to run wild in our country? Fucking DUMB!!!
Leave the sheriff alone! He’s one of the few people in a position to make a difference….and DOES. FUCK!
May 13th, 2008 at 5:11 pmWell, when will voters get sick of these wacked out liberals, socialists, big spenders, etc. and throw the bums out?
May 13th, 2008 at 5:55 pmThis is the same broad that pushed that fucked up “memorial” for 9/11 too isn’t it.
May 13th, 2008 at 6:51 pmNapolitano (if that is her birth-name or at least a husband?) is a disgrace to her Christian/Italian heritage.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:30 pmHoliday tree? And no funding for Super Joe Robo Cop?
She sucks big time.
No matter how many folks turn out to vote against the Napadike she always seems to pull out a win, but of course you got to remember she has the brown horde voting for her, and don’t think that I’m kidding her elections are rigged and she spends almost more time south of the border than up here doing her job. Just another treasonous bitch
May 13th, 2008 at 7:35 pmHopefully a one term Governor
May 13th, 2008 at 7:54 pmThis bull dyke is pushing for a job with the magic negro, or going for Juan McCainez senate seat. She is way over her f**kin head, like most libs are. Totally backed by the AZ rag fish wrap and all the illegal rep groups.
A recall push is afoot as of this evening, along with possible legal shit concerning her giving a pass to an outfit on the proposed new 1 cent sales tax increase, if they “contribute” (developing)-
The State government is totally paralyzed in fear of the mex vote.
Joe’s gonna kick her ass.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:13 pmBitch just has her panties in a wad over the fact that AZ just threw out 38,000 illegal votes.

May 14th, 2008 at 12:58 amThis tells me that the Democrats can’t win unless the illegals get the vote to.
This is a woman that could run Homeland security just the way the Dems want it.
The Dems take over means the end of American sovereignty. illegals and Al-Qaeda will vote Democrat until Sharia law is enacted and enforced.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:39 amHere is Sheriff Joes response Governor stops funding for Arpaio’s immigration crackdowns
May 14th, 2008 at 3:58 amTo “pay for a larger effort to track down felons in Arizona” my ass. She’s probably scared shitless that she’ll lose her minority base.
May 14th, 2008 at 6:20 amY’all are pissing in the wind about voting this or that, this is no longer the USA , it’s ………
“the democratic socialist collective of the united politicians of the americas” . (DSCOUPA)
The laws are not of the Constitution, but are the political laws of the parties……
If you want your country back, you’re NOT going to get it by just voting !…………………………….
Yeah sure , trust what politicians promise.
Sheep……..
May 14th, 2008 at 7:33 amI’ve been saying for years now that nothing is going to change until the people lay down their pencils and pick up their rifles and start voting with a different type of lead!
Remember our Declaration of Independence and what it says
Well people are you tired of suffering the evils yet? Or is it still not bad enough for you to pick up your rifles and band together to take back your nation? Because, lets be honest with ourselves here, it’s not going to happen otherwise, if we could fix this through voting then it would already be fixed because we have all be using that excuse for 50 years or more. Do yo really want to play roulette and wait until the shit has really hit the fan?
May 14th, 2008 at 8:36 amArizona needs to start a grass roots campaign and recall their govenor like was done to Gov. Davis (D) in California.
Michelle Malkin’s site has an article about North Carolina no longer allowing illegals in degree programs at their community colleges. Towns, counties, It’s gotta be done at the local level, and the current crop of politicans, FROM BOTH PARTIES, need to be held accountable for their voting records on this issue. NO Amnesty!!
I’m all for a do-over regarding the 3 POTUS candidates. This is going well beyond just holding your nose, and voting for the lesser of evils. Time for new primaries, and no cross-over voting allowed.
