Editorial: Hirokawa for sheriff

Original post made on May 31, 2018

Between Laurie Smith, 66, who is asking for a sixth, four-year term, and John Hirokawa -- who like Smith went up through the ranks over his more than 35 years with the department until retiring in 2016 at age 61 -- we think Hirokawa is the better choice.

I voted for Sheriff Smith. She is a good, competent Sheriff.

Joseph LaJeunesse is the best candidate to do the job. The other candidates work for the political and Elite's class only. Joe will be for the people.

Not interested in a "who's that ?" candidate. I also, in the past have "voted for" Smith. Let the fun begin and see if her challenger is up to the task of this POLITICAL challenge. Smith has political experience, and this is a political office.

I think it is now time for the electorate to RETIRE SMITH. I was not planning on voting for her again. I agree with the publisher/editorial and I will probably minimally work in the campaign to replace her this year.
