This letter is in reference to the allegations made toward Sheriff Tommy Ratliff. I guess the Cutler bunch realized their chance of winning an election wasn’t good so they decided to resort to lies to ruin the character of the man he is running against. It was in very poor taste to accuse a man of family violence without any proven facts. I know Tommy Ratliff and his family. They are involved in all sorts of organizations throughout the county and have been for years, and very well liked. How degrading it is on your part to accuse him of this. But, I guess when you’re being pushed into a corner, you’re just like criminal. You get mean.
I don’t claim being Republican, or Democrat for that matter. I vote for the person I think will do a better job. If that is the way Republicans run their campaigns, I don’t approve. Which reminds me. I heard Commissioner Will Conley verbally attacked Judge Sumter during a Commissioners Court meeting. I don’t have a computer but they say you can see it on ‘you tube.’ He’s a Republican. Do ya’ll approve of that? And you say Tommy can’t control his temper? I was raised to never curse a woman and I’d NEVER curse a woman that is a Judge. I think these actions will have a big impact on how the votes will go this election.
Well, I hope the voters of Hays County will take this into consideration when casting their vote. I believe Tommy Ratliff to be the best qualified, and obviously the only honest man running for Sheriff.
