Callers: Si is a potty mouth
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. (pictured) was so adamant that a new jail be built that he used several swear words in a Wednesday interview with the Enquirer on the subject.
After the story was published today, several citizens called the offices of the Hamilton County Commissioners to complain about Leis' language.
Because Leis is an independently elected official and doesn't answer to commissioners, the complaining callers were referred to the Sheriff's office.
In the story, Leis used the words "bitch," "hell" and "ass" which was substituted in the newspaper for "(expletive)."
One also called to complain that Leis, in suggesting commissioner unilaterally impose a sales tax increase to pay for a new jail a month after voters rejected such a move, wasn't listening to the public and was being the "big Hamilton County bully."
A call to Leis' spokesman today wasn't immediately returned.

Post a Comment*We don't need a new jail, we need an insane asylum - these Republicans are going nuts right and left!!!
Otherwise, the alternative is to build more jail space for these mentally disturbed politicians and associates who think they are above the law.
Chief law enforcement officer, did you ever hear of menacing or disorderly conduct? How about you, DeWHiner, ever hear of assault? And what about Finney, he too needs a lesson in criminal misdemeanor offenses.
If these actions were of a black male in OTR within ear shot or view of a cop, they would be warming beds at the Justice Center waiting for God knows when, for a trial.
These guys are off the hook - Deters, when are you going to start prosecuting your buddies with the same zeal as you do black men and poor people without connections, titles at the end of their names and no big bank accounts to contribute to your next campaign?
Enough, why is it the hard working has to pay for everthing,we get taxed enough. take the t.v.s out of the current cells and stuff in me prisoners they shouldnt have any rights.
HEY LEIS YOU NEED TO GO , A NEW JAIL BULL , THROW THEM IN AND THE HELL WITH THEM.
