This article reads as if YubaNet is endorsing Bill Smethers for the 2018 Sheriff’s Election by stating that Bill Smethers is the best candidate. It took me a while to find that the actual author of this article is Jeannette Royal, wife of Sheriff Keith Royal.
While Mr. Smethers is highly qualified, so is John Foster, who appears to have a more broad experience in leadership in law enforcement and training, as well as Shannon Moon, currently an active member of Nevada County Sheriff’s Depart.
As voter forums take place, voters will have the opportunity to decide for themselves which candidate is truly the most qualified and will bring the best change of culture to our Sheriff Department.
YubaNet does not endorse candidates.
The byline clearly states the author of the press release, like every other article.
