Sheriff Burkhalter has taken care of the basics. 1-Prisoners are in jail. 2-The Courts have Deputies hopping all around, all the time. 3-Civil papers get served. 4-Warrants get served. Those ARE Sheriff's Office basics.
He has taken his office to a whole new level and at minimal to zero taxpayer cost. Just be thankful. I was not initially a big supporter when he first ran. He has made a believer out of me and my family

Burkhalter all the way! A family friend and a great guy. He has done a great job and has really turned things around. He will continue to try to keep drugs off the streets and that is really important in floyd county!!

I heard the Hulsey for Sheriff yard sale got washed out last week. And the Golf Tourn. today only had 2 teams. Man tough break. Kharma? Impending Doom? That would mean that the expenses were more that waht came in. Can you have a negative balance in a campaign fund? Sounds like back to the basics for them on campaigning 101.
Truth - The truth hurts (two teams), A yard sale for a fund raiser
Record - His record is 0-1
Budget - Not hard to budget $100 dollars
Sounds like a productive platform! huh?

God Bless Open records! I don't reckon the above happened! I don't think 7 teams paid nor that the 700 was made at the rainy yardsale. I'll Check and let ya'll know!
I have heard that the people at the water department are pulling for him..........to get rid of their headache.
airdog hmmmmmm you got another name I think! Air Force gives you away!

Where Hulsey stands on environment issues? Heck he's running for Sheriff, not the EPA director.

He might want to consider running for something else!!! He will not be managing his money properly in the sheriff's race, cause he is not going to win

I like to think that I support Sheriff Burkhalter, rather than oppose Steve Hulsey. In fact, there is about zero evidence to suggest that you have to be a veteran Law Enforcement Officer to be a good Sheriff, especially in an Agency where duties are mostly one of management. Hulsey apparently is not a highly experienced LEO though he has been on the edge for a lot of years.
I think the best reason to keep the current Sheriff in office is that he has done a good job, and there is NO reason to change.
Tim Burkhalter, '08

Bill for the first time I strongly disagree with you!!! Not only should a Sheriff have strong LE experience, but should really be from within! Your basic LE officer has no clue what the job entales or requires!!! Nothing worse than having to train a dang sheriff cause he hasn't walked the trenches and learned along the way. That was the best thing about Burkhalter, he has done it all! When you get someone from the outside you set a sheriff's office behind 10 years because they are trying to get their head above the water and keep up instead of pushing forward, they simply become stagnant. When you say Hulsey has been on the edge of LE.........................the snake river is off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Way, Way, Way off.

LOL. Okay. let me clarify what I apparently very poorly stated. The best example of my point that I can think of is my (actually) very good friend Joe Arpaio of the Maricopa Co. AZ Sheriff's Office. He was an old Instructor of mine at the DEA's National Trainining Institute a hundred years ago. When he got close to giving it up, he decided he wanted to be a Sheriff. He had been arresting drug smugglers for a long time but also said that he didn't know one thing about Sheriffin'. He had a vision for Maricopa Co. He found the best people he could once elected and surrounded himself with them. The best operations guy I know, the best Jail guy he could find, and the best "other" people out there. He gave them the direction, said he would make speeches and get them the resources necessary to do the job and get out of their way. As you doubtless know, he has been phenomenally successful.
Now, it just so happens that the Sheriff happens to be a veteran cop. Far more so, in my opinion, he is a very good administrator and politician. I still believe that the 2nd is far more important than the first.
In a case where the Sheriff is the only LE there is, I suspect you are right.

I dont know if misleading would be the term I would use!!! Would it be more like outright deception or just a "little white lie"? I think the general public needs to know the truth.
