# County Attorney Heaney *Former county attorney in Sherburne County, Minnesota, named in one at-issue record entry on the tenure of the county's law-enforcement offices.* County Attorney Heaney is a former [[county attorney]] in Sherburne County, Minnesota. The project's Sherburne County package records that Heaney joined the [[County Attorney's office]] in 1989 and left in 2025.[^1] That entry is the only record in the pack that names Heaney. It rests on two news sources from knsiradio.com, and those sources are not themselves in the pack.[^1] The entry pairs Heaney's tenure with that of [[Sheriff Brott]] of the [[Sherburne County Sheriff's Office]]. It sets the two tenures side by side and totals them at sixty-six years.[^1] ## Who - According to the at-issue entry, Heaney joined the County Attorney's office in 1989 and left it in 2025.[^1] - The same entry records that Sheriff Brott joined the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office in 1996 and leaves it at the end of 2026.[^1] - The record in the pack does not establish Heaney's full name. It also does not establish the years Heaney held the elected office of county attorney, as distinct from years of service in the office.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The entry is AI-Sherburne-096 in the Sherburne package, ranked 96 in the section *IV. The Ask (86–100)*.[^1] It describes the county attorney's office and the office of the county [[sheriff]] as the two offices that "arrest, charge, and hold" in Sherburne County. It states that the same two people staffed those offices for a combined sixty-six years.[^1] The record does not establish how the entry assigned those functions to the two offices. The entry is anchored to a presidential action published by the White House in March 2025 on eliminating information silos.[^2] The pack does not show that the presidential action refers to Sherburne County or to either office. The link between the two is the project's own juxtaposition.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *Sherburne Jail Brief / Heaney Brief*, at-issue entry AI-Sherburne-096 (package Sherburne) — records Heaney's 1989–2025 service in the County Attorney's office, Brott's 1996–end of 2026 service in the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office, and the combined sixty-six years; sourced to two news reports (knsiradio.com) not included in the pack.
