The Pima County Sheriff’s Race

Some who read my ballot suggestions questioned why there was no suggestion on how to vote in the Sheriff’s race.The Sheriff’s race is a tough call. Do you want Nanos, an ill-tempered, politically vindictive morale killer? Or do you want Lappin who appears competent and swell until you peek under the badge and see a MAGA sheriff?

I’m voting Blue just so I won’t have to see a Sheriff Lappin walking along the border with a Republican in some future political ad but I may regret it. Argh. Where’s an Andy Taylor to police this Mayberry with mesquites when you need one?

Here’s the link to Stellar’s excellent columns on Nanos’ temperament:

Nanos’ anger arises as Pima County sheriff campaign issue

Here’s the link to “Tucson Spotlight” reporter Susan Barnett’s article on Lappin:

Nanos' suspension of his opponent stinks of politics

Proposition 140

I like the jungle primary system. Worked in Alaska to shave Sarah Palin out of the race there. However I couldn’t support this variation of the jungle primary answer to extremism because of one detail: The Arizona legislature could get involved. Never vote for any proposal that invites our legislature within a mile of any democratic process.

I know. I said I was retired. But this cause and these ground troops are dear to my liberal heart.
