NO Justice for Champ
Travis County Sheriff's Office claims their investigation "tends to disprove the allegation" that Deputy Cisneroz used excessive force when shooting and killing Champ. They have cleared the deputy of any wrong doing.
The Sheriff's Office has made no attempt to put any Animal Control Training in place and they still have no policy on the handling of loose animals in the absence of Animal Control. (Oh sorry, they do have a policy on how to handle loose cattle.)
Our appointed liaison at the Sheriff's Office is no longer returning our calls and the Open Records department is not responding to our emails. We believe this was a very inefficient and incomplete investigation that included untruths and even omitted parts of the evidence.
We are deeply disappointed in their reaction to this case from the day of the shooting up until this very moment.
So, we ask you to think about this....

PLATFORM of Raymond Frank:
I will not allow the human rights of 2,765 inmates to be jeopardized by permitting federal agencies to office in the Travis County jails. This policy includes Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). The authenticity of the projections on page 150 of Volume I of the Travis County Budget are hyperinflated totals. The public trust is violated by using spurious projections designed to justify 79 new patrol cars and 1 motorcycle in addition to increased manpower and equipment. The FY 2008 budget is posted on the Travis County external web site (www.co.travis.tx.us). The budget is also posted on the county's internal web site. Abusive ticketing practices and schemes to enhance the operation is unnecessary and sends the wrong message to the commuting public. Recorded deaths and injuries caused by the use of 50,000 volts from Taser electrical stun guns are well documented and justifies their non-use during my administration. These weapons are cruel, inhumane and torturous. To alleviate county jail overcrowding and to reduce jail costs, I will spearhead an initiative during the 81st legislative session to reduce the penalty for possession of marijuana offenses from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class C level. Usable quantities of 2 ounces or less would be punishable by a $500 fine and no jail time. Current punishment calls for 180 days in jail for as little as one marijuana cigarette and a $2,000 fine. Intimidation and arrogance will be replaced with dignity and respect toward the public. This is the image that we must personify. Coercion and unlawful influence will not be tolerated during questioning and interrogations. We will aggressively patrol and protect homes and families in the populated settlements in Travis County. Assigned deputies in these areas will be held accountable for crimes committed during their tour of duty. Assuming the 2008 budget of $115.8 million will approximate the 2009 budget, I will use my years of experience in budgetary matters to ensure the public's monies are spent wisely and with appropriate justification. This candidate, as your Sheriff, and his subordinates will return all telephone calls within 24 hours. Not returning calls is a serious and inexcusable deficiency that plagues the incumbent Sheriff. I will not hesitate to remember that, as Sheriff, my employees are servants to the people of Travis County. Lieutenant Colonel William B. Travis, our founder and hero, would have it no other way. |
