Huntington, IN. - Steve Ochs, Independent candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, today released the following statement regarding the decision by Republican candidate for Huntington County Sheriff, Terry Stoffel, to turn down an invitation from the Huntington TEA Party to participate in a public debate at the Huntington North High School Auditorium on October 23, 2010.
“It is unfortunate my opponent has decided not to come before the voters of Huntington County in a public forum and answer questions about serious issues facing Huntington County and the Huntington County Sheriff’s Department,” Ochs said. “I personally feel that the citizens of Huntington County deserve the opportunity to interview the man that they will choose to put in a position of authority in their community. I am willing to openly discuss any matters of concern that citizens may have about this vital public service position. I cannot understand why any candidate would avoid an opportunity to assist the community in its decision making for the upcoming election. I ask that my opponent reconsider his decision to avoid public debate,” added Ochs.

Monday’s show also just got a lot more interesting (if that is even possible) as Allen County Judge Ken Scheibenberger joins the program. 12 people filed a petition Wednesday with the Indiana Election Commission to have Judge Scheibenberger removed from the fall ballot. My guess is the Judge may have something to say about this, among other things? All this and since it’s Monday, FREE golf from Frazanda Golf Course.

Yesterday I posted this article: Why the UAW is still full of crap which describes how the UAW won’t allow certain vehicles to be parked in their parking lots.
Today, an employee of General Motors not only took offense, he suggested you go buy a Ford.
Editor’s note: This comment came from a GM employee and he’s saying “buy a Ford?”

I would not allow a foreign car on my property either. Wake up. Most of the camry profits go to japan, buy a Ford and the money stays in the US supporting American jobs…. yeah you’re a real patriot
My post was in no way intended to lambaste Ford. It was to illustrate how the UAW is eaten up with the union dumbass. That aside, given that GM took Obama’s handout at our expense, screw GM.
So the question is, should I rat him out and possibly cost him his job, or thank him for supporting Ford.
