We are very fortunate to have not only great leadership but a great medical staff. I can't tell you how much the medical staff has done for us. We have a great team that is very progressive.

I think we need to send a message. Eight thousand dollars is 17 percent plus three percent cost of living is 20 percent for the sheriff and I think that's what we should recommend. The elected officials have information they deserve a similar raise but if we do that, I'm afraid the supervisors will cut that.

I think we need to do something a little drastic to send a message.

Superficial and emotional subject might sway undecided voters.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

Leaders are the ones who keep faith with the past, keep step with the present, and keep the promise to posterity. Peter Ferdinand Drucker -Harold J. Seymour.
