Mr Adkinson, I have heard many rumors in reference to the hiring of , shall I say, unfavorable backgrounds of some of your officers at the P.D. Is it true that one of your PD officers was fired from previous employment at the Sheriff's office for posing nude in his gunbelt and hat on the internet, another was released from employment for breaking into a city owned vehicle while on duty and several others are actually previous deputies with less than desirable backgrounds as LEO's? This has caused several of us to question your "stated" ethics in relation to the standards you use when you hire an officer. I certainly do not want a deputy enforcing laws that exhibits such poor standards in his private life! Also, if you are for the union and support a union, why did you state in the paper that you would fight the decision the deputies make to unionize should you happen to be elected? I have been told it is because you have a list with several dozen deputy's names you have planned to fire if you are elected and replace them with your people, whom you have promised jobs for their support. Are you against the union coming in before the election because you will not be able to fire all these people on your list to make room for your "promised" people? And lastly, is it true Mr. Chapman is going to be your second in command? Isn't this the same person that was involved in the incident which resulted in the removal of the prior City Marshal for his attempts to gain his certification fraudulently? Isn't he the head of your Investigations Department at the police department now?
Thank you
Bonnie
