I feel so famous now! People want to know what my name is and where I live...Fame, and glory, can I ever hold up to my fans out there in the internet world. Thank you for the attention and warm welcome being Da Man is hard work some times.

I for one would love to sit down and have a cold coke with Mr. EJ Harris and have him tell me why he wants to be Sheriff and what he could do differently, however team members of the Harris camp constantly and continually want to be unprofessional and always be on the attack when there are those who disagree with them or just want to support their guy. Grow up!

News flash for ya boys, ya can not win an elect on line and ya can not when an elect in the way you guys conduct your selves on line.

As far as Mr. EJ Harris is goes, good luck with your endeavors.

As far as the trolls go, well you know, and if you don't then get a clue.

I told ya it was hard being Da Man!

Da Man!

So your calling the sister a liar then? Because tahr was quoted as her sister saying you never called her about the sign until after almost a week had passed. I would suggest you demand an apology from the one sister and ask for a retraction otherwise everyone is just going to look at you as a liar.

Spanky,

The Courier did not contact the land owner Shirley Burroughs. However, on Thursday, landowner Mary Beth Green told the Courier that Harris’ statement is misleading. She said a Harris for Sheriff sign was put up on her property for nearly a week before she even heard from Harris. The sign was put up,because Shirley Burroughs gave me permission. Green contacted me by phone I advised her sister gave permission and Green asked what her name was and I advised Shirley Burroughs. Green said "all OK then you can keep the sign up".

“I drove by the week before and noticed it up, but I was too busy at the time to find out about it,” Green said. Again that's because Burroughs approved. “First of all, I don’t let hardly anyone put up a campaign sign there. I gave permission to only three people: former state Rep. Jeremy Hutchinson, Milligan, and I extended an offer to Beth Anne Rankin (for U.S. Congress 4th District).” Green allowed this offer to Hutchinson, Milligan and Rankin, but clearly see she was unaware her sister gave me permission to put my sign up until Green contacted me and found out Burroughs indeed gave me permission.
Green said that after calling Harris on Wednesday about the sign, he eventually explained that he had obtained permission from her sister to put up the sign.
“There is a real estate sign up on the property with my sister’s number, but she lives in Cabot and doesn’t know Mr. Harris,” Green explained. Burrough's had phone conact with Harris two times. “But when I asked her if he had called last week, when the sign was put up, she said, "No, he called me today." So what it really boils down to is that (Harris) lied to me.” Because they talked to only Green and she had not talked to her sister(Shirley Burroughs).Green called and told me to remove the sign. I advised her sister gave permission and Green asked what her name was and I advised Shirley Burroughs. Green said "all OK then you can keep the sign up".

Matter of fact I talked to Burroughs on 09/04/2010 at 8:15 pm. Burroughs advised she did give me permission to put the sign up, but could not verify the date she provided permission and now she is leaving it up to her sister (Green) to leave the sigh up or down. The sign is presently down and the issue is closed. If you want to keep posting that I'm a liar then you need to get the facts correct. I provided this information to the Courier, but have not published this information.
The Courier might want to contact both sides before printing only one side of the story. The Courier advised they planned to follow up on a series of jail incidents, but failed to. Is the Courier a liar? Harris did not lie to any one. Green clearly was confused and supporting Milligan, who said "there would be retribution".

This is reference to spanky and da man, since you guys want to call someone a "Liar" about a political sign being put into someone yard, that isn't your yard or property and you guys falsify your identities and hide behind avatars because your scared to use your "true" names, sounds like a contradiction campaign to me, while the current sheriff is sending out his reserves to tear down his opponents signs, because there own campaigns are falling through the cracks, the people of this county can see the people who are running there races and that want to make a difference in this county to make a positive change and influence, the people see what the current sheriff has done since he has been there for the last year and a half, not a lot, instead of trying to deter crime, people like you guys try to incourage more crime by cyber bullying, vandilism, theft, and the sheriff sits and does nothing about it...What about upholding the law and order, serving and protecting the citizens of this county and in this county??? Or does the current sheriff just want to protect and serve who supports him, what about everyone else??? There are alot of men and women who get up everyday and are really dedicated to the uniform that they put on, no matter what the conditions are outside...and my hat goes off to those who get out here and give it there best everyday...

Guys, just as a favor to me, please do not use entire articles or even large portions from publications. People work hard to bring good content to the publications and deserve to get the credit for it. Please just post a link to the article you're talking about, and if there's not a link to it, just summarize. I know that I wouldn't want people putting my work out there without having given permission and/or receiving due compensation. And besides all that, the properties are normally copyrighted. So please, don't make me have to delete your post, simply due to a legal ownership issue of the words to posted. It's easy enough to just put a link to the material and have people read it from the source. Thanks y'all! :)

Over the past several weeks I have made contact with several hundred citizens of Saline County and the main issue is response time of the Sheriff Department. Following up on incident reports, burglaries, thefts, break ins, and lack of patrol in the outer area's of Saline County. I guess we can see more of the Sheriff patrol cars,due to the election.
