Monroe County, NY Sheriff's Commander Dave Phelps |
If you live in Monroe County, NY, the next time you bitch about paying your county taxes, just think of all the good uses YOUR TAX DOLLARS are being put to.
For example, did you know that YOUR TAX DOLLARS are paying for Monroe County, NY law enforcement officials to attend golf tournaments, not in any official capacity, but instead for personal enjoyment?
And did you know that while you are working your tail off just to out good on the table and pay for a roof for you and your family, YOUR TAX DOLLARS are paying for the gas these officials burn, again, for personal recreation?
Well you are.
Take, for example, Monroe County, NY Sheriff's Office Commander Dave Phelps.
Tuesday afternoon, MCSO Commander Dave Phelps attended the Greater Rochester Realtors Association Golf Tournament held at Ravenwood Golf Club located at 929 Lynaugh Rd. in Victor, NY.
While Commander Phelps appeared to be off duty, it's what Commander Dave Phelps drove to play golf that caught the attention of a Monroe County taxpayer.
Monroe County, NY Sheriff's Commander Dave Phelps drove his black, official use only, Chevy Impala police interceptor.
According to the man who contacted me, who asked to remain anonymous, Commander Phelp's vehicle stood out.
"I saw Commander Dave Phelps and it just didn't look right that he drove his official police vehicle to play golf," the man said, adding, "I mean he wasn't there on police business, he's playing golf, why should taxpayers have to pay for that?"

The man told me that since he was on the golf course he didn't have his cellphone with him, otherwise he would have taken photos.
He also said that Commander Dave Phelps was at Ravenwood Golf Club from 12 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and that Commander Phelps was playing in a foursome tournament team which included retired Monroe County, NY Sheriff's deputy Rick Cognota, realtor David Rose, and another man.
