Letter to the Editor from Jean Kottom

Residents of Murray County

The election is soon upon us and we need to be sure we know all the facts and not the gossip that seems to follow all elections. Steve has been our sheriff for 16 years and the county has been well protected. My husband, Dick Kottom, hired him the first year he was sheriff and Steve was well recommended and was a good and loyal deputy, very qualified to become sheriff.

We at Lake Shetek, found out this spring what a good organizer and help he made available to us to get through the disaster. I am sure there are many other instances throughout his term he has done for the other parts of the county. Lets vote him in again and let him finish his goals for the best of all to the county.
