McDonald County Republican candidate lost his sheriff election by 8 votes, a 9 vote swing and Goodman would be endorsed by EVERY Sheriff in the county!
u told billie long this?
Lots of egg if this election goes the other way.
Why would a dumb sheriff stick his neck out to endorse anyone. They best keep their endorsements to themselves. I believe Archie Dunn was a Highway Patrolman in the past. Wonder why he quit that job?
Did he retire early seeking other opportunities?
The sheriffs have a local, informal association formed for the purpose of getting together to discuss law enforcement issues and solve problems with thieves and criminals operating throughout Southwest Missouri.
A good idea. We expect the sheriffs to do this as part of their jobs.
But, Jack Meritt, while sheriff of Greene County, led the sheriffs to become a political group to flex political muscle for more funding and influence in Jefferson City; to push for more money from county budgets; and to stick their noses into legislative races on the state and federal levels.
What's up with that. I want my sheriff to concentrate on the second shot, after the politically correct warning shot.
