What is going on at the Hays County Sheriff’s office?
I have been told by a San Marcos businessman that Sheriff Cutler and Captain Davenport of his office asked the businessman’s employees to remove a Tommy Ratliff for Sheriff sign from his property. Captain Davenport also approached a relative of the businessman at a ball game and told him his relative needed to remove the sign and replace it with a Cutler sign. What is this about? Are they trying to intimidate people or are they feeling worried about their re-election? Either way this is unprecedented. I have been involved in political campaigns for nearly 40 years and I have never heard of anything like this.
More disturbing is the fact that recently Sheriff Cutler had all the sheetrock around his office replaced with Kevlar sheetrock to bulletproof his office. When the bulletproof glass is installed, the taxpayers of Hays County will have spent over $100,000 to bulletproof his office. I have been told it will be the only bulletproof sheriff’s office in Texas. What is he afraid of? He took an oath of office to protect the people of Hays County, not for the taxpayers of Hays County to protect him. No other Hays County Sheriff has wasted the taxpayers’ money in such a ridiculous fashion. I hope everyone remembers this on Election Day.
