Just for the record, anyone who reads my earlier comment. I am not discounting Kevin Davis's ability as sheriff. I think he has done a pretty good job as sheriff, but i also know that with the right candidate there is always room for improvement. But as many others, I do find myself comparing him to a former administration that would give anyone the appearance of satisfactory results toward improvement. If he had come in on an already up to par properly operated system, my current opinion of him might be very different. But he didnt. And therefore its like comparing a little bit of anything to a whole lot of nothing. And the only way to know how valuable a little might be is when your weighing it against nothing. So one can either vote to go backwards, stay with what you think is satisfactory or take a chance in another direction so you know for certain the value of what you left behind.

I would love to see UM or Jeff State become affiliated with an institution like Berklee's school of Music.

Mr. Davis, says that this decision was through prayer and guidance from the supreme. Now what if he does not succeed over his opponents? Does that mean his guidance failed him, or does that mean he is following a false religion? Does it mean he is just simply like many other religious people that have made the same statement to no avail? The last candidate that told me he prayed about running for public office, and that it was "willed by god" did not even make it through the primaries. So does that mean god abandoned him in the midst of his commitment, or was that "voice of god" non other than his own inner voice speaking to him out of the over zealous desire for confirmation of his quest for what he wanted for himself, and nothing to do with what god wanted for him at all? I guess time will tell. But i would suggest campaigning on the merits you have established for yourself thus far. While i do not condemn nor discourage taking everything to god in prayer, That is something you and god share in spirit. And i dont think the majority of voters can or will relate to any such claims at the polls. However, what they can and will relate to is the merits you have established for yourself thus far, namely honesty, commitment, and responsibility to the people and the office in which you have served.
In addition, my advise to the candidates who are seeking first time election, campaign on the merits of your own character as a person with the interest of the people and the office to be filled being the focal point of your platform, rather than a prophesy from god, that may perhaps have been spoken only to you. After all "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is one of the greatest commandments that God himself prophesied to all. Along with " Know a tree by the fruit it bears".

maybe we should place armed guards at the entrance of every business in the county and at every church door on sunday morning. If your gonna live in fear every day of your life perhaps it is because you have given in to fear and have become a hostage of your own self, sounds kind of like you have sold your own soul and dont even realize it. The way i see it if today is my day, I hope things are good with me and my maker and i have seeded no unjust contentions between my neighbor and my self.

The question should be "How safe is the public against some of those who are in the court house?

It might be a worth while idea, but i sure hope these are not the best designs they could come up with. And to tell you the truth I'm sick of seeing peaches on everything. Its pretty poor imagination in anyone that can only relate this county to peaches. There is much more history to this county and any city or township in this county than a peach or peach tree.
