Issues about the sheriff’s inability to manage his office, his lack of knowledge about domestic abuse and his refusal to uphold state law are not what the sheriff wants to discuss. Let me get out my ruler and slap Schirard’s wrist: Schirard can’t use La Plata County tax dollars, nor county time while on the job, to campaign for re-election. As Mary Medill pointed out (Letters, June 24), this pattern of behavior exemplifies Duke Schirard’s unprofessional true colors.
