Hoot And Holler: Gabrielle Giffords

Clarence Dupnik Dept: Dupnik has been in office for three decades, having taken over a department that had been festering under allegations of corruption and other problems, according to CBC. Although Saturday's shooting rampage in Tucson occurred on his territory, Dupnik is not directly in charge of this investigation. The federal Justice Department and the FBI are since several of the dead and wounded, including U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the apparent target of the attack, are federal employees and the Washington Post this morning had a profile of Tucson's top lawman, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. Tucson was a "hoot and holler" town back in the 1980s and Dupnik tamed it, the result being that his constituents have re-elected him every four years since. He is 75 and expected to run again in 2012. As reported in the news.
