Maybe you should learn about telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!<BR/><BR/>What about other appointments made by the Sheriff of those that supported Mike Davis?<BR/><BR/>All of this boils down to a labor organization that wants to run the Sheriffs Office. I see in Sun that it is official Rodrigue is the next U/S.

Right you are - a demotion from his position as Undersheriff and Acting Sheriff at the time. He didn't even apply for the Chief position, he actually applied for the Undersheriff position with Boyer. Boyer didn't want to upset the other D's that supported Davis since Boyer only beat him by 2K in the primary that year so he kept him on in a lesser position where he could control his actions and still hang high politically. The Lt you mention is a Civil Service position and the person happens to be a female and an attorney. You think Boyer would want to take that on? As for reprisals, you bet there will be reprisals if Rye debates him. Boyer just recently confronted one of his employees because that employee's spouse wrote a letter to the editor talking against Boyer. Boyer likes to intimidate his employees and this is just one of many examples of that poor behavior that supports the need for him to go. You folks talk a good talk but none of you work for the man or know what goes on at the Office. Come walk in one of his employee's shoes and then you can judge all you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24356511.post-1156444597724052452006-08-24T11:36:00.000-07:002006-08-24T11:36:00.000-07:00Remember that the primary voting is only by party....Remember that the primary voting is only by party.

One became the Chief of Detectives and is now the Chief of Gig Harbor PD. The other was promoted to LT. 2 other Mike Davis supporters were appointed as Chiefs. Maybe if Rye did debate Sheriff Boyer, he might be promoted to Sgt, something he hasn't been able to do in 33 yrs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24356511.post-1155411279033749502006-08-12T12:34:00.000-07:002006-08-12T12:34:00.000-07:00Thanks for getting out the facts on Jim Rye.

In my opinion Boyer is doing a great job especially with a county that is growing steadily.<BR/><BR/>I have seen Jim Rye, or at least I thought I did, at Whaling Days. There was a booth for him, but it looked like he was hiding in the back and wasn't actively talking to the voters walking by. Others were doing that. I personally thought that was strange for someone who was challanging an incumbant. You would want to connect with people right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
