This week’s guest will be Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott.
We will ask the sheriff for a crime update in SW Florida. We’ll also ask how the economy and foreclosures are affecting crime, and his efforts to crack down on air conditioner and appliance thefts in Lee County’s vacant homes. We’ll also ask what the sheriff”s office is doing to crakdown on grow houses and drugs, A lot of people ask us about trafiic enforcement, so we’ll ask why there seems to be a stepped up effort to write speeding tickets and we’ll ask where that money goes.
We’ll definitely ask how the property taxes and the budget crisis is affecting his department, as well as gas prices and salaries. This should be a power packed hour filled with lots of questions and hopefully lots of answers, so tune in Saturday at 11:00AM on WINK AM 1240 and 1270 in Naples live, or you can listen to the show on the Internet starting next Monday after it airs.
