Integrity is the most important quality of any human being to possess, especially politicians. Trust of the people is imperative! As a former mayor and city councilman for the city of Sebring and a member of the sheriff's rescue unit, I know how important it is to have a leader that you can trust. Three out of four of our children are in law enforcement: Major Mark Sauls, Sgt. Monica Sauls and Agent Gene Sauls Jr. of I.C.E. We the people expect and deserve honesty. I supported and voted for Susan Benton during the last election. I had high hopes that she would have the vision and integrity to make the needed changes in the Highlands County Sheriff's Office. Some of the changes she has effected have made a difference; higher salaries for the troops, some new technology, more deputies on the road. What she did was what should have been done. Nothing new or spectacular, simply what needed to be done. ...more

My husband and I decided to vote by absentee ballot this year for the first time. When we opened our ballots, we were shocked to see that on the ballot, it said that it must be filled out with a No. 2 pencil, and yet the secret sleeve we were to put the completed ballot in before mailing said that the ballot had to be filled out in either blue or black ink. Both said that if not done properly, the vote would not count. ...more

Just as interesting as new technology are the years following its introduction and finally seeing how we use it. Sometimes it's exciting, and sometimes it's little depressing. The Internet is both. Never in the history of humankind have people had the ability to communicate so quickly and access more information. It's nearly impossible to find bad in that – except we have. It's true that information is only a mouse click away, but the quality of information is the real question. Too many people gravitate to places on the Internet telling them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. So that makes a lot of us believe we're intelligent on issues when, in fact, we've just bought into someone else's point of view and call it fact. Political websites are the worst. Someone with a flair for writing can spew garbage about any candidate and get a lot of people believing it. Our country is all about free speech, and there's nothing wrong with stating opinions. In fact, it's healthy. The problem occurs when people are mentally lazy and don't check out the facts. ...more
