Sheriff's hiring of political supporters under fire

I was skimming and spotted this. Isn't this basically how the local political parties operate in Eric County?


Sheriff's hiring of political supporters under fire

Since winning one of the most powerful elected posts in Broward, Sheriff Scott Israel has hired from the ranks of his political supporters, building a community outreach wing his critics say doubles as a re-election team.
The supporters receive public funds to go out into the community, including to political meetings, touting the agency's successes under Israel, and getting feedback. Some of the same employees campaign for the sheriff at the polls. Broward Sheriff's Office officials said they're doing so on their free time.

Sheriffs strut around claiming some sort of Constitutional superiority to other law enforcers, because they are elected. And being elected, they are also subject to the winds and corruption of politics. What works for you rhetorically, also binds you to the corruption.
