New York sheriff says "We will continue to uphold the highest standards" as jailer is suspended with pay for smuggling tobacco

    Can't tell you how little I care about a jailer smuggling tobacco — why the hell is tobacco even contraband? But the sheriff's quote made me laugh, so here it is:

    "My administration is transparent; nevertheless, we will not allow conduct of this nature to diminish the professionalism of this agency and our staff. We will continue to uphold the highest standards" — by rewarding violations with paid time off.
