Commissioner apologizes
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter concerning an article in the Hillsboro Free Press where in I was quoted as making several comments concerning critics of the jail proposals being studied/presented by the county commission.
Two statements attributed to me included the use of profanity. The reporting was accurate and I sincerely regret the use of that sort of language. There is no excuse for it and I will not try to make one. I have always believed a public official should be held to a higher standard, and in this instance I fell short. Please forgive my lapse in judgment and accept my apology.
Also, I harbor no ill will towards the Free Press for the article. It was reported accurately and I alone am to blame for its content. Again, please accept my apology.
