Criminal-justice professional supports Tom Sayre for Supervisor

Dear Editor,

As a criminal-justice professional of over twenty years’ experience, I have come to understand that three types of individuals inhabit most communities – a relatively small number who cannot follow the rules, the many who obey the letter of the law, and those few who serve others. Without question, my County Supervisor, Tom Sayre, falls into the third category.

Whether he is working on a simple issue, such as the improvement of rural roadways, or striving to shed light on a complex matter, such as the EDA scandal, Tom Sayre brings ability, real-world practicality, and rock-solid integrity to the job.

Although I cannot begin to comprehend what could have possibly motivated either the Commonwealth’s Attorney, or a Grand Jury of Warren County Citizens, to have pursued and returned plainly capricious indictments of Tom Sayre, my faith in our system of government has been reinvigorated by his recent exoneration within a local court of law. No one has made a greater effort than Tom Sayre to see that justice is done where this EDA matter is concerned.

On Tuesday November 5, Tom Sayre will have my vote, and the votes of like-minded members of our community.
