Sheriff Butler’s Legacy: From Disorder to Trustworthy Governance

Once again time to vote for Warren County Sheriff, and I feel disappointed in the disparaging remarks against our current Sheriff.

The environment of these heinous back alley deals we encountered prior to Sheriff Butler has been an ordeal of the past.  The citizens were robbed of our humanity, costing the citizens millions because of greed, ego, and “good ole boy mentality.”

The past crimes have filled the pockets of the thugs that ruled our citizens. We were given the leftovers of the wolves and managed to stand because of our strong, steadfast faith that someone with the commitment to protect and serve our community and help us to grow and be productive.

We had to entrust our family and children to the atrocious mishandling of this community. Have we not learned lessons from the deception we encountered in the past?  Perhaps our eyes have remained closed because of past misdeeds.

Many goals have been met, just as Sheriff Butler promised.

Evaluation of the entire office to ascertain strengths and weaknesses.  Self-evaluation was conducted while he has been Sheriff.  This evaluation has made a difference in enabling the citizens to have confidence in the Sheriff’s Department and change when problems are encountered.

The foundation was started and will continue to be built on while Sheriff Butler remains in office.

I believe he has been truthful, committed, and standing steady to ensure our community is safe and growth ensues. Sheriff Butler’s Open Door Policy is in full force, and if you do not step through, it is not because you have not been invited.

I fully support Sheriff Butler in this coming election, and may we all have open eyes and ears to vote for this man of integrity and values what is noble, trustworthy, and not in this for personal gain.  Character and self-confidence make Sheriff Butler the man who will continue to enhance and protect our community.
