After cuts, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher asks for beefy budget increase Civil unrest request nearly three times a previous ask. February 17, 2021 8:07pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Pushing back against budget cuts and saying he needs more money to keep the peace during the upcoming trial of Derek Chauvin, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher filed notices with the Ramsey County Board asking for nearly $3.6 million.
Fletcher, who sued the board in December over ongoing budget disputes, said the anticipated civil unrest, along with his desire to see budget corrections and amendments to rectify austerity cuts the county made last year, should compel the board to act now.
