Roe Conn is a sheriff's deputy??!!!!

[live love laugh]

I’m shocked.

PBS just featured a segment featuring Roe Conn — former RW ABC/WLS radio host and ABC TV local guest. An official Cook County sheriffs deputy since 2021 Conn’s worth $196 million but apparently he wants to play “police”. Google says he is Director of the sheriffs department under elected sheriff Tom Dart.

He’s is right wing as they come — Chicago’s equivalent of Sean Hannity. He’s very eloquent and fast talking and seemingly knowledgeable but he’s sexist and racist and Republican.

Him as part of the sheriffs department patrolling minority neighborhoods gives me nightmares.

1. Reminds me of my neighbor here in Texas. He pulled up to talk

the other day and made sure I saw his "badge" on his console. I asked him what it was and he replied - "I'm an auxiliary sheriff and can arrest someone that I see breaking the law". I asked "Are you sure" - Yeah!

He is a 85 year old right-wing coot that is always making disparaging remarks about Dems - he knows I'm a Dem....Oh well, you can't pick your family or neighbors.

These folks have a screw loose but are a pain in the ass.

3. $196 Million From Doing Local Radio?

That's hard to believe.
I wonder who came up with that number.

4. Google. BUT on a second glance I see $5 million repeatedly which is more realistic.

5. Thanks!

That I believe.
Remember, there were internet references having Lindell worth $300 million which was literally impossible given the company leverage & the length of time he was in business.
Digging a bit deeper on these thing is important. Thanks for digging.
