I have the utmost respect for him. His heart is truly in the North end and that's what the North end needs! S Morris, I agree whole heartedly everything you've said. These folks must not really know Rex. He definately has mine and my family's votes! Short and sweet……I’ve known Rex for many years. I have the utmost respect for him.

I remember one sheriff lost his liscense DUI, and had to be chauffered by a deputy. We have had a managerie of characters, come through that office. I think Sheriff Morgan's watch, has been one of the most productive, least controversial adminstrations we have seen. I have never met the guy, I only speak, of what I have observed. If people want to complain about us comparing Sheriff Morgan to his predecessors, well hello, it is our peers and predecessors which we are measured against. Amen MJJ.

You do know me just don't realize who I am. I am supporting Rex all the way and will be more than happy to help with his campaign any way possible. We do need a change in the north end and need more deputies and I actually think Rex knows this and will make a change. To this Joe guy - not sure who you are - but a bully is not exactly what I think about when I think of Rex. I have known this man since I was 12 and am now 40 and I have never seen or heard anything bad about him. Do not say things you can't back up with physical proof!! My mom always said if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all - so shhhhhh! A.G. – my son played varisty football at Tate and is a Senior this year.

Rex running for sheriff is a pitiful way to attempt to get the GOB's back in office. This guy has threatened people (especially at campaign time) and committed acts that I would question the legality of. From physically bumping up against campaign workers to evoke reaction to leaking evidence. Rex is nothing more that a bully and a hypocrite.

I understand the duties of friendship and camaraderie. My loyalties are based on performance, not influenced by personal bias. The office of Sheriff is about performance of duties, not old pals. I applaud your loyalty to your friend MB, and would wish you luck, but this is far too serious a matter to leave to luck. Keep up the good work Sheriff Morgan.

For years, all I've ever heard up here is that the calls for service don't warrant putting any other officer up here. I'm sick of hearing it. Do we all need to wait till all that crap from in town makes it up here before we address the issue? Why not act instead of reacting for a change. Mr Blackburn, you've got my families vote. Morgan doesn't have a clue and that other guy can't figure out what state he wants to work in. Mr Blackburn isn’t a bad person at all and yes, his heart is in the north end of the county.
