Letter To Editor

Letter to the Editor: I have been Involved In County

polit~ f~r milEY, I1Isl.lY yelll'$, I have watched the political process with great concern from the local level all the way up to the Presidential level. What concems me most about the political process is seeing the citizens become disillusioned with the process and NOT going to the polls to cast their vote.

Quite frankly, I can understand your frustrations. I have see,.. the candidates from the top levels to the lowest levels make campaign promises. Then after they are elected, we see these same candidates voting for the very things they promised the public they would not support. I don' believe they Intentionally lie to the public. I believe they make these campaign promises without being In possession of all the facts Involved In these promises. After they are elected to office, they find there Is no way they can keep these pronises.

I scares me to death that we may have such a situation existing. In the present Sheriff's election. One of the candidates who Is In the run-off election has made so many promises to so 1TIar;1Y people that there Is no way he can keep them all. I know that when you are on the can.,algn trail It 18 very easy to tell the voters what they want to hear while you are running for office.
