Victims Wonder Why World's Toughest Sheriff Arpaio Let Sex-Abuse Cases Languish
• Phoenix New TimesLate 2005 to October 2007 was not a good time to be raped or molested in El Mirage.
During that time, the town had signed a contract to pay the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office $3.6 million for police services. But Sheriff Joe Arpaio didn't use the money to bolster his sex-crimes unit. Instead, the publicity-hungry sheriff's focus, as always, was on political witch hunts and pet projects that got his name in lights.
Victims of sex crimes — mostly children — in the town and throughout the county still are paying for Arpaio's misguided policies. Rapists and child molesters got away with their crimes.

Who are the enforcers? Why, law enforcement, of course. If law enforcement won't enforce the law, who can force them to.
El Mirage GAVE two things to Arpaio, as a GIFT:
1. A bunch of money;
2. Controlling interest in the town.
Why as a gift? Because nobody can enforce a retrieval of the wasted money. And nobody is strong enough to force Arpaio out of the town.
