Since Sally started running for his second term I noticed that outward racism and racist remarks seem to be more out in the open, then I started to see it seep into the dialogue of National politicos, then podcasts and now even in small government policy.
Pretty crazy you would do this to discourage (the only candidate running) from running, who happens to be black and has oodles of law enforcement experience (not sure what his record is? Maybe that will come out in the campaign?) And heck, the current pay isn’t even that great! Then to cut it by $30K a year! Wow. Were you wearing hoods when you voted on this? ‘Pretty obvious to me they tryin’ to run em outta town, yah see.’
Ironically, he would probably be the best damn Sheriff the county has ever had. He has tons of experience and is in his prime, who wouldn’t want that? Maybe this is why he doesn’t have challengers? Did you ever think of that?
It reminds me of the black mayor of Mitchell, SD. He was one of the most popular mayor’s they ever had. I think he did a brief national TV interview talking about it, and he said something clever about how he doesn’t feel black, he just feels South Dakotan (I think he was born and raised in Mitchell).
Don’t let your hate blind you Turner County Commissioners.
