to why.. it has nothing about to about race or anything i am a white female. but its giving an equal opportiunty in a work force and if you knew anything about law enforcement you would understand how hard it is for someone to move up anyways and when your a female it makes it about twice as hard. I already work in law enforcement just not where i want to be. Its not whinning or anything its just stating the facts. And as a sheriff he should learn to do all of his duties and if he can not that his chief deputy should learn to pick up his slack that is what his job discription is and calling the sheriffs office to speak to them for about a week and leaving messages everyday is something that should be taken in consideration in the day. It only takes a couple of minutes of their time to call someone back and i’m pretty sure they have time to in a week. another thing please learn to spell when talking about ignorance its won’t not want. Anyways good job heath and cant wait to support you again in 2014. Like i told you i am very proud of you for taking a stand and having a voice. Job well done

I just want to say kudos to Heath Jackson for running such a great race and for the character and dignity he showed at all times when meeting the public. It was an honor to work along side him. Jackson supporters, let’s keep the comments on here clean and upright because that is what Heath would want and expect. Looking forward to Heath Jackson for Sheriff 2014 Campaign!

I did not vote for Smith, but the votes decided it, and we have to live with it for 4 more years.

I have no personal objections to Grover Smith, and I don’t personally know Heath Jackson. Just thought it might be good for a change in the Department and the way it operates. Do we even still have a Drug Task Force? I thought it was de-funded. There is way to much turn-over with investigators. No wonder they can’t solve murder cases. And it is high time that persons who receive a payroll check funded by ALL tax payers, stop using their positions to do personal favors for their friends, while they should be performing the duties of the agency. ALL persons should be treated the SAME, regardless of their race, religion, sex, personal affiliations, or financial status. That goes for you too, Judges. All of you government employees are paid out of the same pot that we, the tax payers have contributed by force, not choice. VOTERS: HOLD YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE!

>>>I agree but the comments I am referring to is not directed at the candidates rather the employees of that candidate and other police departments that have members assigned to the DTF. Theses people have not entered the political arena and there is absolutely no biases for these accusations.

No, but they are public servants. Unless I overlooked a comment, they all refer to the Drug Task Force, not any individual. The public has a right to make complaints about public entities that they fund with their tax money.

>>>>When a person enters the political arena, they open themselves up to a whole different level of public scrutiny and opinion. Thus, as rude as some people can be, it’s all politics.
