Could used police cruisers be a viable stop-gap measure for CCSO?

I heard that there are 4 new vehicles sitting in Valdosta that are for Camden County if the county gets reinstated into the fed. seized assets program.

Please let us know if this is true.
If it is, then the sheriff, county administrator or some damn body needs to get them to Woodbine.

I believe that is true. However, CCSO has to be re-instated in the program first. As I would have thought you would know, Sheriff Gregory has had voluminous correspondencce with the feds and has traveled to Savannah to meet with then. I've forgotten what the remaining hoops to be jumped through were, but I can assure you that the sheriff is jumping though them as quickly as he can.

I seem to recall that the feds were waiting for the county to pay back over a hundred grand of money Smith- the gift that keeps on giving - had spent unlawfully. Anyone know for sure?
