>>As for the topic at hand, the county sheriff's budget was cut by 350,000 - thus the department is reducing it's staff by 6... How they're managaing that when a deputy is paid 120,000 dollars a year I'm not quite sure. ;)

Looks like you read the sentinal article. I believe that these were vacant positions that were eliminated. I also beleive the 120,000 figure was clarified above.
