I am disappointed that you would take the partisan bait from Ken Mayfield and help him deflect attention away from the Republican controlled Commissioners Court’s abysmal record on jail health. The Republicans hold a majority on the County Commissioners Court, as well as most posts in this state, and as with the School Finance debacle in Austin, the Republicans here at home cannot get their act together. But instead of pointing blame where it is due, the Republican controlled Court, you let Mayfield, a perennial underachiever, use the News to misdirect attention. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you heard Mayfield raise any concern about our inmates, let alone about their health? Why didn’t he raise concerns when all this began, and festered, under our Republican Sheriffs? This is an obvious political hatchet job against our Democratic Sheriff who has, in a short six months, begun to really turn things around at the county jail. Hopefully the do-nothing Mayfield will be out come 2006 and District 4 will have a competent, engaged commissioner not a political hit-man.
