Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a thorn in the side of the Obama administration because he firmly believes in secure borders, the 10th amendment and punishing all wrong-doers and not just the politically incorrect ones.
The Obama administration is cutting him off from the gravy train - from Phoenix, AZ station KTAR:
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dropped from US military surplus program
The federal government dropped the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office from the program that funnels surplus military equipment to police departments because the Arizona agency cannot account for some weapons, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Thursday.
The sheriff, whose agency patrols unincorporated areas of the county that includes most of the Phoenix area, said he recently received termination letters from the U.S. Defense Department and the program's coordinator for Arizona.
Arpaio's agency was suspended from the program in 2012 because it was missing eight handguns and one M-16 rifle from among the hundreds of weapons it received through the program. Arpaio said his office tried but failed to locate the missing weapons, including checking whether retired deputies had them.
Eric Holder lost over ten times that many weapons (along with people's lives on both sides of the border) with his Fast and Furious gun-running debacle.
