Kanabec County’s Sheriff department is going through a dispute of what the funding should go towards. It is now left in the commissioner’s hands to decide.
Sheriff Gus Dicesari is at odds with some of his commissioners with the funding. Commissioners Anita Shenuski and Raymond Laybourne believe that the funding should go towards the sheriff’s department and law enforcement. Commissioners Valerie Dawkins, Faith Ellis, Jose Gardoz and Roland Grauman believe it should go towards programs for migrant workers in the county. Dicesari said, “You’re putting the live of the people of this county in jeopardy.” The sheriff wants to hire five new sheriff’s deputies and eight new police cruisers. Commission president, Anne Chenn, is not on the same page. There is a belief that the migrants are the reason to all of the problems in the county, and that residents need to be protected from them. As the arguments kept growing and becoming more heated points were made, but with five in favor of president Chenn’s proposal and only two in favor of Sheriff Dicesari, the additional money requested for eight new cruisers and five additional deputies was refused.
