ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Maybe we shouldn't elect Sheriffs. I've never really understood that, especially in a time when Democrats and Republicans are at each others' throats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Clayton County, GA recent sheriff's primary... excerpt: Two of the six losing candidates in the Clayton County sheriff's primary are endorsing Victor Hill's effort to reclaim the office he lost four years ago; Hill fired one of them and the current sheriff terminated the other. Daniel was among the 27 Sheriff's Office employees, Hill fired on his first day in 2005 and had escorted out of the building where snipers were positioned. A federal judge later ordered Daniel and the others reinstated. Daniel resigned from the sheriff's office in 2008. Hill, the former sheriff and the current sheriff are now slated for a "run-off", yes, you read correctly. Pls. continue reading: excerpt: Kimbrough received 42.4 percent of the ballots to Hill's 37.5 percent in the primary election in July. Earlier this year Hill was indicted by a Clayton County grand jury on 37 counts, including racketeering, theft by taking, making false statements, influencing a witness and violating his oath of office, all allegedly while he was sheriff. The prosecutor says Hill took tens of thousands of dollars from the county and his 2008 re-election campaign. Hill has said he is innocent and the pending indictment is a product of Clayton County politics and Kimbrough's backers. Kimbrough said Wednesday the criminal case against Hill was put together by a special prosecutor from the judicial circuit for Newton and Walton counties. "That process is totally out of the sheriff's hands," he said. I don't want to post the link but you can do a search and find the story in the AJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Maybe we shouldn't elect Sheriffs. I've never really understood that, especially in a time when Democrats and Republicans are at each others' throats. Simply put, the employees of county elected officials are "at will" employees. This means that they can be fired at any time without cause. Safe to say the Sheriff will prevail in this case.
