Martin County Sheriff considering primary challenge against Negron
by Michael C. Bender | April 2nd, 2010Martin County Sheriff Bob Crowder says he’ll decide in the next couple of months whether to challenge Sen. Joe Negron of Stuart in a Republican primary. From Stuart News columnist Eve Samples:
What would motivate him to walk away from his job as sheriff a whole two years before his term ends?
He is dissatisfied with the way Negron has tackled children’s issues, and he says he has heard from others around the state who are, too. In particular, Crowder opposes Negron’s Senate Bill 1216, which would subject local Children’s Services Councils to periodic referendums.
“I know that we are not doing a good job of preventing crime by not supporting the issues that help children,” said Crowder, who also is a Republican.

Way to go Crowder! It appears our dear sweet brother Negron has gone and ruffled the feathers of our Sheriff.
The only shame is that we can’t run Negron out of town. Permanently.
Thank you Sheriff Crowder for taking a stand.
My civic pride in this county government is restored.
