He has worked the system, missed meals with his family and put in long hours and hard work. He has been in law enforcement for many years and currently teaches Criminal Justice. On the other hand you have a candidate (J. Whittington) who has stood beside the crookedness and politcalness of the Sheriff's Office for 22 years. He has allegedly worked himself through the ranks although many deputies cannot recall him being a Lt. or Capt. This does not mean he wasn't but if he was then it was not for very long. His family contributed very heavily for Deen's campaign 28 yrs ago. He has over $500,000 in campaign contributions currently. You decide what you want tomm. Do you want a man who has less campaign contributions, worked the system and earned everything he has? Or a man with a huge amount of campaign money, handed ranks because of who he is and has yet to tell the citizens his plans for the Parish or the Sheriff's Office. Remember it may boil down to your child or loved one getting hit by a drunk driver and due to certain people contributing certain amounts the suspect gets away with a slap on the wrist. The more money from contributions then the more get out of jail free cards and dont write my son a ticket type things take place regardless of what people say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-15254821709860175022011-10-08T20:40:38.355-05:002011-10-08T20:40:38.355-05:00Whittington left because he got upset when Deen ma...Whittington left because he got upset when Deen made Dempsey the #2. Deen would have never been there if it weren't for the money the Whittington family put up for his campaign years ago. So when Deen over looked this part of the equation Whittington got mad. That along with getting sent to be Chief of Corrections right before he left I think pushed him to his point. Alot of changes need to be made to the Sheriff's Office for sure. Morale is extremely low there. You have Captains who post memo's in the jail that say " If you do not like your job quit, We interview every Thursday". What type of employee morale do you expect to get when the upper management is saying things like this? McConnell has my vote and every one that I have talked to as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-69630392935223951092011-10-03T21:14:49.823-05:002011-10-03T21:14:49.823-05:00How is Whittington gonna pull down all his million...How is Whittington gonna pull down all his millions of signs after the election?

I know how he handles himself in the face of danger and stress. It seems that mcconnell's concerns are for you the citizen and me the deputy's safty.

My concern with Whittington is that he is Deen's cousin, he was put into management because of blood and nothing more, he has been passive his whole career and it is only now that he stands up because he is mad? Looks like Deen finally saw what the rest of us have seen for years.... Whittington is not a leader, he is a follower and nothing more. If Whittington didn't like the way Deen was running things, he should have stood up to him years ago instead of just sucking up that <br />100k+ a year job and being weak. And, I suspect YOUR candidate is the same, a good ol boy, who will only continue to move this parish backwards. <br />I have some questions of my own that I want answered by Whittington:<br />1. How long was he a top adminstrator?<br />2. How long did he spend in each rank?<br />3. How long did he work as a patrol deputy?<br />4. How many arrests did he make?<br />5. Was he ever a Detective? <br /><br />Two can play your silly game, and I want them answered. If you can't answer them, then find someone who can. <br />I want a sheriff who has experiance in fighting crime, not being an administrator the majority of his whole career or working as a DARE officer. Obama didn't have any experiance and you see what that has gotten us. Quick now, find me some answers.Terrance in Bentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-78710302422561792062011-05-17T08:52:15.978-05:002011-05-17T08:52:15.978-05:00I do not need to know anything else about Mr. Whit...I do not need to know anything else about Mr. Whittington. I know what and where he has been his entire career. I do know he has been with the same department his whole career and not acting like a grasshopper jumping from job to job. That concerns me a great deal, why cannot he stay in one place? I want to know personal things about a candidate. Personal issues could prevent him from being a leader I can trust and follow, just look at Obama with his personal issues. I do not need to talk to Mr. McConnell, you all have made up my mind for me and you be surprised who I will support.

I do have to agree with other posters, I have answered all those questions on other posts. Feel free to look back through them and find the answers you seek. You have made it very plain that no matter what I say, you will try to belittle me and use it to your advantage. I will, however, answer questions about my campaign platform or ideas to mover this parish and sheriff's office into the 21st century. Or, if you wish, leave your real name and phone number so that we might speak in person. I would like to ask you if we have ever met before, arrested you, your family or friends or If I offended you in another life, Because you act as if we are mortal enemies. If you do not like the things that I want to do for this parish, then by all means, vote for someone else.Mike McConnellnoreply@blogger.com
