Larry Sanders Quotations

We've upgraded our booking area and we've added security, with additional locks.

I don't have enough corrections officers and I don't believe I have enough road officers.

I don't know now if I'll have applicants from within. I believe they're losing more than they'll be gaining.

Our battle is not with Paul or the post here; it's with the people in Lansing.

Some of those guys will work the desk now.

My top deputies are making almost $37,000 (in regular salary). With overtime I've had deputies make approximately $50,000.

When deputy Ross Solberg returned from active duty in the military the board did not increase the budget, but we did not lay any officers off. Hopefully we're going to be able to fund that spot through our recreational patrols.

The project will save energy, in that there is added insulation. New windows in the dispatch center also have cut energy costs.

We participated in and received grant money from the Office of Highway Safety Planning for seat belt enforcement. We received a grant for $2,000 to purchase equipment here. We also applied for an OHSP grant for youth alcohol enforcement. We're be participating in the program sometime in 2006.

They (search crews) are doing a good job. Patience is the key.

They don't have a car out all the time, either.

The remodeling includes upgrades that are in conjunction with 911, but they also benefit the sheriff's office. Now we have a new radio system. The remodeling and rearranging is a nice upgrade for our dispatch center.

They will receive their accrued seniority for vacation and sick leave, but they will have to pay in for a percentage of their retirement and they will not have retirement health insurance for their spouse.

I asked that all the benefits to transfer over, but I was denied. The way I understand it, the county board is saying they are considered a new hire.

I do have to have some road patrol. Taking those officers away will leave holes in coverage.

I'm Larry Sanders. I'm a person. I'm a father. I'm an artist. I'm a writer. I'm a painter. I'm a musician. And sometimes I play basketball.

The values and the relationships of the people I love around me are my real riches. That's my lasting wealth.

I’ve had to make the difficult decision to follow my intuition, and allow myself the space and time to explore my true purpose in life.
