for being smart enough to
know what to do.
“Our job is to educate
them, give them the facts and
the truth and trust them to do
the right thing. That would be
a unique experience for the
people of this county,”
Bynum declared.
The board and county
department leaders are con-
scious that they must make a
clear distinction between ad-
vocacy and education.
“As a public entity, the
county cannot advocate or
fund advocacy,” cautioned
board Chairman Dave Toler.
“The county can develop
facts about the issues and put
them out there,” he said. But
he acknowledged that the
most-effective campaigns
would be waged by civic
groups and others in the com-
munity.
While he was encour-
aged to allow his deputies to
be available to the public to
talk about their program,
Gilbertson was adamant,
stating that, “A police officer
cannot engage in political
activity.”
However, “There’s noth-
ing wrong with a little more
visible presence to tell people
what we do,” reasoned Public
Works Director Rob Brandes.
As an example, he mentioned
how his department will de-
vote staff time at the opening
of the Jones Creek Bridge to
explain to the public how
$600,000 of its money went
into the project.
Brandes said that simi-
larly, the sheriff’s office
could “educate” the public
about what it does.
“It’s about education,”
the managers agreed.
“If the facts will speak
for themselves, then the peo-
ple will act in their own best
interests,” Brandes said. “We
need to spread the facts and
educate the people.”
ing and swearing while say-
ing that if she had a gun she’d
shoot the laugher.
*In the 1300 block of
Caves Hwy. at 11:56 p.m. a
man was warned about
speeding, staying in his lane
and having a defective license
plate light.
