GERALD HOLT LET MANY PEOPLE DOWN

I VOTED in the Roanoke County sheriff's election for Gerald Holt. I had no idea he would get rid of his top people like so much rubbish.

The man I thought I knew got a little education and lost all of his common sense. I feel Gerald Holt has let a lot of people down, people who voted for and trusted him. He didn't even wait to see how things worked out before he took up the ax and started replacing loyal employees with his own cronies. MIGNON A. WITT SALEM
