Editor, Gazette-Journal:
It is so indicative for the Mathews Sheriff to use national methods of personal tallies.
This was illustrated in Sherry Hamilton’s Feb. 1 article (“Gloucester Sheriff questions numbers used in presentation”).
The Mathews County Sheriff’s tally of her available deputies clouds the issue rather than clarifying it.

I concede that care of one’s people and labor economics are not taught in Constitutional Law 101.
