Even though you are right wife, your husband will never be the sheriff.

Like I have already said I am assuming there is some heat behind him backing the prize hog on the first shooting and again on the second. The law suites are there also.

I told everyone this was going to happen 2 years ago. Your sheriff lied then and it's not the first time. An upstanding person does not lie straight to you and his community. Good ridens. I love being right. Yay me!! Idiots.

Sorry, I don't think it would be that tough to replace Williams. He's been fine, but he's been far from outstanding. He's just a bit too far behind the times to still be in the job. The tv show is a shining example of this. He actually thought that was a good idea. He didn't understand the modern world or how it would end up portraying the county or his department. In 1991, he would have been an outstanding sheriff.

As for the BOC controlling the replacement, I hope any appointee is smarter than that. Once appointed, he has no duty to the BOC. And the quickest way for the BOC to screw themselves, is to start cutting the sheriff's budget.

James Williams will be hard to replace. He has always been an ethical and moral person. I am guessing the BOC will put someone in they can control and have to do their bidding.

It makes one wonder if the current Shatley investigation and all the law suits have any bearing on his announcement.
