He is not the answer though. He did nothing for the city and he will do nothing for the county. Sure enough nice guy though with a pretty smile and a good speaker. But he will get Lumons , Lyters , Ashtons and Craigs support. Lol. Just another career politician. I will say I told you so in a couple years. Our local media will give Chip a free pass.

Yes, I'm a past employee. We all know Morgan loves to stand in front of the cameras and talk. Will you please inform us on why he hasn't addressed pay issues since 2008? Also, you may want to ask around the Office and see just how many actually feel like he's standing up for the deputies. If he's been so concerned, he would have used the salary of all those employees he's hired that were outside the agency. He's no different than McNesby, Lowman, Seely, Davis or Johnson. You are going to naturally surround yourself with the people you trust which means promotions and/or hiring outsiders. If you feel this isn't correct, please tell us about why he just had to hire David Craig? I think his pay was around 65k a year to start. I guess he didn't know at the time he had a pay compression issue? It's the same game, different players. RJ, I guess Morgan hasn’t had enough time to take care of this issue since 2008?

I don't blame Morgan for retiring. Too much squabbling going on. He may be the center of it, and that I don't know. But I respect him for being our Sheriff and doing the best he can with what he's got to do the job. Thanks to all those employed at ECSO. Not everyone is capable of dealing and handling the situations that are placed upon you. Too early to decide who I’m voting for. I don’t blame Morgan for retiring. Too much squabbling going on.

He won’t be getting my vote as he is too close to Morgan and will continue the same, tired and inbred system that Morgan has dictated for too long. We really need new people with fresh ideas.

I have an idea about what you mean now. Several men in my family worked as an ECSO LEO and a couple women as non LEO. My grandfather from 1968 - 1999. In those days though, officers had the support of their co-workers, supervisors, and community. If a criminal got out of line, they felt it. Not sure how it is today although I'd imagine they gotta watch their back from everyone. That's not an environment I would be able to tolerate. Good idea for a ride a long though. It'd be cool to see how things are now days. @Mike Amerson

At least this Sheriff has the guts to stand up for the deputies and fight for something that was compounded by your buddy for his 8 years in office. @Mike Amerson – You mean a “has been” like you?

The statement wasn't made out of disrespect for any officer I can reassure you.

Really ? I would consider any LEO my brother or sister and appreciate each and every one. Yes, some are bad. For the most part, LEO's are the trademark of America. If anyone doesn't care about a law man, they are either in the minority or a piece of filth. Rank and file cops are daily heroes that go unnoticed and unappreciated routinely. @Mike Amerson
