ginger Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I know the race isn't for a while but I thought I'd start the topic in case(God Forbid) something happened to Sheriff Harder. Also it's easier to find now for future reference. After replaying the conversation I had a while back with somebody who worked for a brief period "on the inside" I realized I had missed something. How about this person as a candidate for the office of BC Sheriff...former Town of Binghamton Supervisor Tim Whitesell? I recall he was on WNBF after one of the Mack girls became elected to the TOB position but I don't recall if he stated he had any concrete plans.

19April1775 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 How did he become "former" TOB Supervisor? Can't remember. Actually, didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 For the same reason you didn't know Tim wasn't Town of Binghamton supervisor anymore..He was such a fixture people didn't realize Lizzy Rounds (not Mack, her mother's maiden name is Mack) was running against him. lol, I wonder how many of them even realize now he isn't their supervisor anymore!

ginger Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Over the years I've been reading and posting on BCV, the contingent has managed to bash every single candidate for Sheriff including Sheriff Harder himself. Do you have a suggestion? I think my suggestion is at the very least a dependable, low drama individual who can manage a budget since he spent 20 years doing that in his former position. I don't recall hearing about any impropriety at all. Seriously, who is your suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Hoyt Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 My suggestion has always been any reputable person in Law Enforcement from outside of the Sheriff's Office should run for sheriff. I would like to see Ex-Vestal PD Jerry Mullins run, I think he would do an excellent job! But Tim Whitesell............... Seriously your joking right!?!?

Thanks for posting. I'm kind of in a mood to ignore those audits because I'm under the impression Tim is one of the good guys and probably is not likely to repeat those mistakes. I'm in a mood because last night I'd been ruminating that I'd worked long hard hours my entire life. Mandatory overtime, double shifts, weekends. There was a period of about seven years that I worked 10 hours a day 8 on Saturday and 6 hrs every other Sunday. I've gone years without a vacation. Recently, I haven't been on vacation in the past 3 years. I see a picture of Senator Akshar's very pretty girlfriend on a beach and I realize no matter how many hours a day I work, I can never earn $85,000. I'm not jealous or envious, I just feel like crying at how many hours I have to work. Thus, I look at that post and think, "a cable bill?, that's it?" I know my logic is flawed right now, sorry.

M_Sable Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 It's a symptom of capitalism gone too far. It's the best system thus far, but needs limits. Countries in western Europe have a more fair life-work balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thank you both for the empathy but you've missed my point. I'm complaining about governmental nepotism and cronyism. The ability to hand somebody an $85,000 salary on a silver platter. I have to get ready for work, have a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they stole my vacation time I went about the business of finding a different job. I'm still peripherally connected to healthcare and really, in a better position to advocate if and when I choose. I love my new job, it's less physically and/or psychologically demanding (ie, people aren't punching me in the face and sending my glasses across the room on a daily basis) Like anything else though, if you want to make any kind of money you have to work the hours.

M_Sable Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Said it before, say it again. Time for a professional police commissioner (Commissioner Gordon?) Restrict the Sheriff to the duties assigned by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Al Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Fred Akshar is running for sheriff. What will be interesting is to see how big a fight the current sheriff's office puts up against Akshar. They do not want him back. After Akshar was elected to the senate, it looked like the sheriff's office was grooming Ben Harting to run. But now the sheriff says he is backing Kate Newcomb. I would take anyone over Akshar.
