TIME FOR CHANGE

George Wilhelm claims to be tough on drugs. What does he base this on? Is 
it the two major drug raids coordinated by agencies other than the 
sheriff's department? I fail to see how this elevates him to 
record-breaking status.

Community patrol and courthouse security have dwindled in recent years. 
Sheriff Wilhelm blames this on limited departmental funding, yet he has had 
little difficulty purchasing boats, Chevy Tahoes, Durangos, Ford Explorers 
and Mustangs for himself and a few chosen employees to enjoy. If the 
sheriff was as tough on drugs as he is on our tax dollars, Rowan County 
would be narcotics free.

On Sept. 10th, I'll support the Republican Party. But I refuse to vote for 
George. I won't make that mistake again.
