Security and safety, you know.

That’s what voters like Thomas Hartlaub are looking for in their next sheriff.

“Havana’s pretty much a safe town but you don’t know exactly what’s going on underneath.”

“Talk to them personally and get a little feeling how they feel about our county and our city.”

Some of the questions that were asked to candidates were about the internet cafes in Havana, safety procedures and what they plan to change or do if they were to be voted as sheriff.

“Talk to them personally and find out where they came from and what their ideas are.”
