The cost of doing business as the sheriff is on the increase. Montgomery County Sheriff Bobby Dierks says price of food, gasoline, and everything else is going up. He says as a result, he's going to need additional funding from the county commission.  Dierks says he is not pleased with the situation since he has been able to stay under budget every year since he became sheriff.

He says he runs a very lean budget with little room to cut back.
