I am an independent. I have meant both candidates and instantly knew Slupe was the one. He has those traits you speak of. My first encounter with Livermore was at the Onion Festival he seemed like the kind of guy that if you through around his name enough you could get whatever you want. Upon meeting Slupe I fealt he was a kind, dedicated, experienced man, but if you did wrong; it would not matter how many times you through his name around, your getting what you deserve. With jobless rates raising it was important that Livermore focused on saving our deputies jobs, but that is all he focused on and mud slinging of his opponent. That is great you don't want to vote, one less socialized Democrat we don't have to worry about.
