I want to make sure I have this right. A person comes forward with the highest
credentials – and overwhelming support of his peers in law enforcement from all
over Western New York – and now somehow he just isn’t good enough to be our
Sheriff?
He’s taken to task because he worked hard at being one of
the New York State Police “best of the best of the best” – he sacrificed time
with his wife and children to became a “Master” trainer and a dedicated law
enforcement professional pledged to protecting each and every one of us - and
because he’s never ran for even the lowliest posts that local government can
offer – he’s somehow now not good enough to be our Sheriff?
Community service is a great thing. We need more people willing to help out our
communities and service organizations.
However, if you have the choice, who would you elect to lead? A community volunteer or a person that
dedicated their very life to fighting crime and the war on drugs? Failure to be
a community volunteer in this case is not a curse it’s a positive example of a
superior form of giving back to the community.
In my opinion some seem to fear him because he will deliver
on his promises. What a great breath of
fresh air that will be! The “Good Old
Boys” are circling to protect one of their own!
Don’t buy it! Let’s take a real
“bite out of crime” by electing a man who will actually deliver what he says he
will! I sincerely believe our war on drugs – heroin and all the rest – cannot
afford another 4 years of stall, delay and miss management. Let’s elect a
leader – an innovator – an expert at his craft!
We’ve had second best for way too long!
Please vote for Walter Mackney on Thursday, September 13th!

Karl Graves
