Thank You

It's good to know that there are still plenty of people that are reading this blog every day. In fact since the election the number of people reading this blog has increased. That tells me that the people are still interested in the jailer's race and what I have to say about it. Maybe it's the questions that I have ask and still not seen a response to. Maybe the voters are asking them self's the same questions. I know for a fact that people come up to me all the time and ask questions about the jail. Of all the people I have talked to, none can understand why the only people with experience did not win the election. No one can understand why anyone would have voted for someone with no experience to run a office that has had its share of problems. The people need a DEBATE or several DEBATES to get the candidates together and see what they have to say and what they plan to do about the problems at the jail. This and all other elections should not be a popularity contest. Just because you like a person does not mean they are qualified or have any idea how to do the job. In fact you might be doing your friend a disservice by electing them to a job that they have no knowledge of. Look at it this way, a mistake could cost the city and the jailer personally. Think about it.

Funny thing?

I have been ask a great number of times why there was no debate for the election this year. I also think its a very funny thing that there was none. The local news paper has always had a debate, but declined to do so this time. I even tried to get one set up with no one responding. I wonder why that is? If anyone has any ideas please let me know.I think that a debate is the very best way to get the men running for any office and allow the voting public to hear just what they have to say and ask them questions. There are a lot of problems with the jail and we need to know what each of the men running for jailer has to say about them. A debate would put the candidates on an even level with out seeing who had the most or biggest signs all over town. After all this election is not about who has the most signs its about who is best qualified for the office of jailer. Who ever we elect this year is headed for a big mess so we better take a very good look at who is running and what they have is mind. More to come....
