During an interview this morning on KNPR, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Cliven Bundy is a "very principled man in regard to his beliefs," but said the BLM "was within their bounds to do what they were doing."
Gillespie said he has had several "interactions" during his years in law enforcement with Bundy. But while he expressed some sympathy for Bundy's attitude toward the BLM, the sheriff said: "There's a federal court order. He lost in court...I made it very clear that he needs to...
You knew this was coming.
Led by Assemblyman Jim "I might bring back slavery" Wheeler, Michele Fiore (of course), Don Gustavson, John Ellison and Ira Hansen are calling for a probe of the "armed incursion" by the BLM.

Sandoval was added after...
Two new political action committees filed last week are designed to boost the chances of Larry Burns in the sheriff's race and to assist the gay marriage movement:

Police Protective Association chief Chris Collins confirmed that the three cop unions are hoping to fund an independent expenditure campaign to help their man.

“I’m not the one with the checkbook. The consequences of inaction have been conveyed.” – Robert Uithoven, Sue Lowden’s campaign manager, 4/30/10
