It’s a shame there was no possible remedy to just have a special election last November for the remaining two years of the sheriff’s term where such a dispute was still ongoing. I want this dispute to go on for years, growing more and more comical, until we end up with slapstick comedy that rivals the characters from Grumpy Old Men. Already former acting Sheriff Howard Buffett announced his plans last month to run for the office next year. Just in time for Howard Buffett to swoop in and claim a 2022 victory. His campaign would be fairly easy: a). claim Brown was illegitimate if he runs against him and bring this up on the campaign trail. b). claim Root doesn’t have the experience he has if Root gets his 1 or so odd year as sheriff especially since Buffett had a decent term when he was appointed a few years back.
