Sheriff Joe Loses Con Rail Fight



I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...


Sheriff Joe Arpaio is famous for his no-nonsense approach to fighting crime and illegal immigrants.

He didn't like the parking fees at the airport, so he began transporting criminals on the new Phoenix ($700 million) light rail system.

The city quickly ponied up the free parking passes that were taken away from Sherriff Joe in 2007.

It seems that people had enough trouble with criminals in the state house. They didn't want to ride the rails with them too.
