I In (ounly Clerk, County Treasurer and Sheriffs lax
office hundle the burden of most of the paper work of the
count> and few complaints arc received as to their work and
efficiency. They work well with people and try to be
accomodating even in the light of fast changing state
regulations and forms
JI;
Most discussion and complaints come from the law
enforcement areas and this would be normal for any county
Laws are hard to enforce without making people unhappy and
upset at I he enforcers. What most expect is fair treatment,
unbiased treatment and consistent treatment for all people
and all laws. The most Consistent complaint that is heard
about law enforcement in Shackelford County is that the laws
do not apply to all the people of the county on an equal basis.
Kveryone is entitled to equal protection and equal justice
from injury. When a crime is committed, it is not against a
book of laws. A crime is commit,ted against the people of the
State of Texas and they have a right to see that the laws are
carried out and enforced according to the laws. It is not up to
I he arresting officer, the' County Attorney, the County Judge
or lhe .lust ice of the Peace to determine whether the laws are
lair and should be carried out. They are charged with their
oath of office to uphold the laws of the Slate of Texas, and
when we hear comments from some court house people that
We don't do it that way in Shackelford County" my stomach
turns inside out. These law- apply equally to residents of
Shackelford County as well as residents of all other towns
I; ailing to carry out a law because of hurting a friend's feelings
or fear of reprisal for prosecution are two very poor and
shallow reasons for not upholding ari oath of office. If the laws
are broken, most Shackelford County residents expect
enforcement, arrest, trial, and conclusions rather than a
docket containing cases several years old with no action
taken. If good reason exsist for no action being taken, the
people probably would like to hear these reasons
.11,
One apparent problem that exsists in the court house halls
is the daily appearance of a ghost of a past election Part of-the
court house has not accepted the fact that the people of this
county elected a new sherdl who does things in a different
manner than the old one did Some officials apparently will
not accept this anil still carry a grudge against any changes in
operations. If the people within this same government cannot
get along, little hope exsists for much progress Most of the
time will be spent fighting childish fights over procedures"
which cannot be defended as right or wrong but rather
diflerencesv-of opinions If a man is honestly trying to do his
job to the best of Ins ability and is trying to follow the laws of
I'exas, he should not have to fight a constant battle with
co workers ovei t he w av it had been done for 20 yearn"
■IL
Again the problems of the court house that affect Albany
i.nd Shackelford County residents are not caused by peopli
" 111 f ii 11> seeking to harm the people but rather most people
I'll thi v have not kept up with the times, the changes in thi
liws, the changes in the attitudes of the people and the
e> peel at ion of I he people t o see t hat I lung's are done The I jine
nl hiding heads in the sand when problems arise is over I'm
Mban\ and the people are waiting for changes I hey are
impeding answer* rather than ninarounds and the people
know what lo do with public officials w ho are not responsive
