Debate

My FOP sources tell me the sheriff sent a letter 10 days ago to the FOP advising them he had a prior commitment and wouldn't be able to attend the FOP (union) sponsored "debate" on Jan. 3. The same sources told me the ruling from the special arbitrator came down last week  and sided with the sheriff in the labor dispute.

The Jan. 3 "debate", sponsored by the union, may be a lot like the one in Jacksonville on Dec. 3. The Times-Union called this a political rally for the union's choice for State Attorney.

I hope everyone comes to the debate. It should prove enlightening and entertaining. The problem with being an independent is that "the pack of hungry dogs" will pick the candidates without you having a say in the matter. The debate will give the canditates thier first chance to face a crowd and one another. It should be easy to see the candidates develop thier platforms as each week passes. To be in on the first contact will benefit all concerned. Lets pack the house and start these campaigns with the enthusiasim they deserve.
