Sheriff James H. Blume in his malicious and
illogical attack on this newspaper and its editor
clearly shows symptoms of a person unable to
distinguish fantasy from reality. It is obvious he
spends more time looking "between the lines"
and not reading what ts written on the lines. Mr.
Blume is apparently under a misconception that
the Hin~ News, or more l~'ecisely its editor,
made the jwed/ct/on that the county gem~al fund
would close Jure 201h with a MS,000 deficit. Our
information came directly from the County's
budget dated March ruth and published in April.
Reference was made to the source in the article.
IS Hinton News the cause of a "parasitic
blight" when we report that our County Library
might probably close next fiscal year because it
needs $I0,000? Is it a "parasitic blight" to report
that the County University Extension Office
needs only another $7,740 next fiscal year for the
salary of our 4-H extension agent in order to keep
the position? Elinton News did not create these
problems, but if the County's budget for next
fiscal year estimated a zero balance in its
general fund the budget would he $45,000 richer
and these problems could be eliminated. That's
what makes this issue relevant. It is unthinkable
to presume that these agencies would go without
the necemmry money they need to oparate ff this
money would be available.

As most of you know, it is very rarely that I will dignify a comment in the Hinton
Hews with a response. Many of yet have advised me that there are far more facts
between the lines than there are in the print itself so I must ipore it; this time
let's make an exception.
In the Hinton News in April '83, bold headlines proclaliaml,
Whom is it ???" The "editor?" commented that the county commission had an
excess in bond funds of He discussed deficiencies of coHty pverament
and listed variousstate forms and codes. He, of coarse, was short on.details and
wrong spin. How he comes up with a JOT deficit for this fiscal year even
though it doesn't end until June 30. y 2 News) How pmazing that he so
ingeniously finds solut,ons to everyone's problems except his own! If this deficit
has been ongoing for the lonE, why is it suddenly so relevant? Perhaps
it's an election year? Or possibly only to discredit one candidate? It seems I
never have to attend to my business; he always tries to do it for me!
The county commission, NOT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, approves and budgets
all revenue and expenditures pertaining to the county, can only estimate these
fipres because it must be done .in advance .... budi(ets must be in by February
for the following fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending the following year on
June 30. The sheriff's department is only one of several departments which must
have approval for any expenditures. To offset the deficit in question, the only
alternative the sheriff has is to refuse to sign any checks for June payments of
disbursements. The county has received no federal hinds other than Revenue Sharini(
since January 1991. The only money we have to operate on is personal taxes
collected, Revenue Sharing, and interest pnerated on these investments.
The reference the/'editor?" made concerning records hidden under a box were
definitely not in the tax office, if he is REALLY interested in writing about
discrepancies, he can find an abundance of those from the previous administration
on file in the tax office. We welcome anyone who mii[ht be interested to come in
and take a look for themselves. THESE ARE PUBLIC RECORDS.
We have had two state audits during the 3 years I have been in office. Doth
audits have resulted in highly complimentary remarks from the auditor concerning
the efficiency of the. tax office.
To summarize, it seems.that the "self-proclaimed" editor of oar pathetic
"WEAKLY PAPER"has made it clear that facts and logic are either irrelevant,
forptten, or just never existed in his anxious effort to brink out his own
opinia, ated bias ,-- or perhaps his quest is to capture some famous literary (T)
attention. While Someof us are conscientiously working hard to do oar to
make our county a better place to live, others must constantly strive with their
weird thinking to cause a parasitic blipt on that same county.
