Pima County Sheriff Mark Napier was seen on Fox & Friends today, where he discussed the Board of Supervisors' newest decision to end Stonegarden funds.
"To turn your nose up at this funding is just really unthinkable," he said.

The county has received the $1.4 million federal border security grant for longer than a decade. The money was said to go toward overtime and equipment, supporting the collaboration between local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Last Tuesday, the supervisors ended their months-long discussion and voted to reject the grant.
Napier also expressed his opinions in a statement last week.
