New questions and comments about the Sheriff's race

Based on things that I've read here and heard elsewhere, I've been asking more questions and doing some research. Along the way, I've learned a few things, and heard more things that I'll be checking into further.

1. I've heard that Mrs. Simmons has been working in the elections (as a volunteer, I guess?) for several years. Will she be doing so again this year (if she has in the past)? To me, that doesn't seem quite right, if she does.

2. Have heard from more than once source that Mindar spoke to the Sheriff on a supposedly confidential basis, asking if he'd be able to come right back to work if he dropped out of the race. Don't know what the answer was, but do know that within a few hours, rumors were all over the dept that Mindar was dropping out. Mindar wasn't doing the talking in the dept, so it could've only come from the only other person in the confidential meeting. It appears that all the rumors were tracked back to the Traffic division, which means to Woodie/Hannah and eventually Johnson. Mindar is STILL IN THE RACE, just for the record.

3. I've clarified, to a point, the issue of Hannah's wife continuing to work in the Sheriff's dept if he becomes Sheriff. According to the Fayette County Employee Handbook, the Sheriff Dept, because it is headed by an elected official, is not subject to the County employee polices unless the Sheriff declares that they are. Johnson has not, so the issue of one spouse being in a supervisory position over the other (which Hannah would be, no matter if there is one or two other levels in between)... it is a moot point, at the county level. HOWEVER, I've been told that there is a state law that governs this issue... I just don't know how to find it. Anyone wanna give it a try? (And I still will go back to the idea that it LOOKS bad, whether it is technically wrong or right.)

I know there's more, but forgive me if I cut it short right now. I do have a life outside this blog, and it is calling.
