Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu has sent out a notice to supporters requesting donations in his fight against the ACLU, which has irritated at least one county GOP leader who thinks the pitch is misleading.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last month against the sheriff and Pinal County Attorney Lando Voyles alleging improper use of Arizona’s forfeiture laws relative to RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) monies, violations of due process to citizens and improper use of RICO funds.
In the letter, which is signed by Babeu and also lists the Paul Babeu for Sheriff Committee at the bottom, he accuses the ACLU of “chasing headlines” with another “frivolous lawsuit.”
