A few new businesses are trickling into Clayton County. At a time when much of the attention is focusing on problems in the school system, it’s refreshing to learn new jobs are being created. Read my latest blog entry on Wordpress

New sheriff in town?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So far there are five people who want to become your new sheriff and one who wants to keep his job.
Below is a brief overview of our potential choices that I know about (in alphabetical order). If there are any others, please share with us:
Victor Hill (no website yet) - incumbent; former detective in the Clayton County Police Department; former District 81 Representative; recently reported that he intends to get “re-elected on his record of “quality of life issues,” and vice crack downs.”
Kemuel A. Kimbrough, Sr. (http://kemforsheriff.com/) - an attorney who worked five years in a previous sheriff’s administration.
Sherman Lemon (http://www.claytonpolice.com/CriminalInvestigationDivision.htm) - 28-year veteran of the Clayton County Police Department, currently serves as commander of its Criminal Investigation Division.
Jack Rainwater (rainwaterforsheriff.com) - 14-year career in law enforcement; former senior investigator for the Georgia State Department of Human Resources; currently working in private security management; has lived in Clayton county since 1974.
Ernest W. Strozier (http://www.strozierforsheriff.org/ ) - a lieutenant and 15-year veteran with the College Park Police Department; over 20 years of law enforcement experience in total.
Garland Watkins (http://electgarlandwatkinssheriff.com/) - current Clayton County police lieutenant; one of the 27 fired by Sheriff Hill in 2005.
Some Clayton residents who are shopping for a new sheriff worry that the vote will be split amongst all of these potential candidates, and Hill could get reelected anyway.
What do you think about these possibilities? Do any of them interest you, or are you satisfied with our current sheriff?
