Back of the napkin math, Nanos could face being fired by the board on April 21 - provided the elected sheriff doesn't show up to the yet-to-be-scheduled #PimaSupes meeting.

Chair Jennifer Allen motions to have outside counsel bring back reports related to Nanos (as discussed in Executive Session) before the Board on April 7.
This is the first domino that could lead to the #PimaSupes remove Nanos from office - but this could be a long, involved process.

The #PimaSupes have gone into executive session. I'll start a new thread when they come back.
I fully expect Sheriff Nanos to be the first item they will discuss when they get back.
Thanks to everyone for reading by posts!

Several speakers are asking the #PimaSupes to fund a grant-funded program (the grant expired) that works with law enforcement to make sure that people who have been served with orders of protection that they surrender the firearms.
This is an active program in the City of Tucson, not the county.

There is a BIG difference between today's #PimaSupes Call to the Public and #TucsonCouncil's Call to the Public.
People were angry and partisan this morning with sharp jabs at the Supervisors (and members of the crowd) while tonight people are move civil.

#PimaSupes took a first step toward restricting ICE activity in Pima County, passing a resolution yesterday that put limits on raids on county property and a mask ban for law enforcement. Supporters call it a message to federal agents; GOP Supervisor Christy calls it “toothless.”

A special note for fans of my #PimaSupes live-blogging.
I will be using the other bird-platform today at their meeting, just as an exercise of trying something new.
I'm easy to find, same name, same cartoon headshot.

#PimaSupes vote 4 to 1 to move forward with banning ICE and DHS from operating on county-owned land.
Again, a FINAL vote on the ordinance - which has not been written - won't be adopted until early March.

We still have 7 more speakers. #PimaSupes vote to take the extra time - it has been an hour - to hear from those speakers.

Dave Smith, in a long rant against the #PimaSupes, said his neighborhood "isn't concerned what ICE and Board Patrol is doing."
He cites specific polling about whether undocumented people should be deported, but leaves out that most polling shows most Americans don't support recent ICE actions.
