Story 2

    Sheriff Gus Dicesari is fighting Commission President Anne Chenn for money from the city. Dicesari accuses Chenn of “shortchanging” him and “…putting the lives of the people of this county in jeopardy.”
    Supporters of Dicesari, Raymond Laybourne and Anita Shenuski, agree that more money should go towards the police department and not towards the migrant workers coming into the community. Chenn knows that the migrant workers are a great component to the community and really add to the economy.
    Chenn said the county ran short of money due to $30 million spent on a new prison, higher fuel costs, and higher costs for employee’s health care. Chenn suggests postponing on buying new cruisers and more deputies, and just leaving the vehicles at the departments.
    The commissioners voted 5-2 against Dicesari’s request for additional money.

  3. Your story is very well organized. I feel like you could have put in some more information, maybe in one of the later paragraphs,but overall your story was well written.
