Letter to the editor: My two cents on the sheriff’s race

Posted

Offering my two cents on the Gabriel Frase vs. Tracy Murphy race for sheriff:

When Tracy Murphy was questioned he was apparently unsure how to answer some particular question(s) because of non-disclosure agreement issues. 

His first impulse was to lie. 

This is a problem. 

My first thought when reading an account of the incident was to question why he did not ask to postpone the interview so he could speak with a lawyer, union rep, or some other entity who could advise him.

He just lied. 



As sheriff, would he find this acceptable behavior for his deputies and staff?    

I do not know either of these candidates personally, but I just don’t feel Tracy Murphy has the maturity, sophistication or depth of thinking necessary for this  leadership position. 

If fact, I think his actions were dangerous.
