Last night, something interesting came to mind. I have noticed through published media accounts over the last few months that Sheriff Bartlett's compeititors have had RPG's fired in their direction in attempt to cause a retreat or a direct hit. Open-source media accounts, if factual, to include quotes from the Sheriff, have inferred or alleged as follows:

Sergeant Mc Dowell is under some investigation, scheduled for a public trial (administrative?....no further coverage of this)

Mr. Mike Evans candidacy has been questioned concerning his fitness for duty and insurance status-although a certified police office, Deputy Sheriff assigned to Special Deputy duties for several years.

Mr. Don Brennerman has been linked by an alleged information leak (source not known) to a gun incident involving a current department commanding officer.

A couple of observations I have made based on open-source media, not further elaborated:

- Sheriff Bartlett is quoted attributing the subject leak to Sergeant Mc Dowell, which has me wondering about jurisprudence and due process. Has this employee been charged, and if so has this allegation been substantiated?

- Sheriff Bartlett is quoted that he reviewed every personnel file upon assuming office. This statement is interesting since Mike Evans' physical requirements became an issue within two weeks of his announced candidacy, and the incident involving his commanding officer and Mr. Brennerman would have been reviewed during this review.

Just a curious voter asking himself questions.
