Sheriff’s Race
A community group in Fallbrook held a meeting with all the candidates for sheriff a week ago, which was most enlightening. I would hope that more groups do the same, because there doesn’t appear to be much in the press about this very important race.
One observation made was a statement by one of the candidates, a Mr. (Jack) Drown. He said he has worked for no one else but the Sheriff’s Department in his entire adult life--over 20 years providing us, the citizens of this county, with the best law enforcement possible, claiming that no other candidate matches his experience and skills.
Well, all I have to say is that, if the current state of the Sheriff’s Department is due to Mr. Drown’s best efforts and vast experience and leadership, I suggest he do us all a favor and step aside and allow change to take place. It’s apparent that he and Sheriff John Duffy haven’t got it right in 20 years. We can’t afford another 20.
