So the last seven years as the sheriff in Clark county, we had a 35% decrease in crime across the board. In the last year, we had a 5% increase in crime. Why is that? Washoe county had a 28% increase in crime. Why is that? Isn't because I'm out campaigning as people allude to, or I'm not paying attention because I'm running for governors versus thing. It's because the system changed. (30:10–30:14)
