BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- Baldwin County Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack asked county commissioners for $20 million to run his department next year, but $2.1 million could be cut if revenue falls short, officials said.

Crimes reported declined in 2009, he said, and the average number of people in the jail each day fell to 530 -- about 100 inmates less than the previous year.
