Here are some of the issues area residents are discussing. The statements were phoned in anonymously, so the Courier does not vouch for their vercity, nor do we know what motivated the callers:

We’ve got sheriff candidates that want to be sheriff simply because they’ve always wanted to be sheriff, but have not stated qualifications other than “I’ve been here all my life.” Liberty, look at yourself.
