Do we as American citizens have rights anymore? Well, I think Gerald Hege thinks not. He runs things how he sees fit in order to make himself look good. Deputies have been indicted on drug charges from which the drugs they were selling were taken from prior busts they had performed. What kind of man are we letting run this county? If we do not vote Hege out of office this election, things will only get worse. I will be voting against him and those of you who vote for him, your time is coming to have your rights stripped out from under you. They have slandered my name and I have done nothing wrong and have not been charged with anything. Please take heed to my words. If not, one day you will regret it.
