Sheriff's Race: Candidates Weigh in on Spending

This week, each of the four candidates for Pinellas County sheriff took the Patch Podium to explain what he would do if budget restraints were lifted. Follow along each week as we get ready for the sheriff candidates' debate July 17.

 

Welcome to the Patch Podium, where we are asking the Pinellas County sheriff candidates questions important to you, the voters.

This week, we asked:
