Florida sheriffs converge in Sarasota for annual convention
Delegates from across the state arrive at the Lido Biltmore Club in Sarasota for the Florida Sheriffs Association's 4th annual convention. Sen. Joe Bill Rood of Bradenton announced he will not seek re election and criticized the Florida Sheriffs Bureau as potentially turning into something worse than a state Gestapo, a remark not elaborated. Sheriff Ross Boyer expects a record turnout as the group plans to adopt a new budget salary system and set deadlines for budgeting and bookkeeping separate from a fee system, with sessions through Friday and social events including two luncheons and a banquet.
