Surprised supporter

The Rockland County Sheriff’s race certainly has taken a high-tech turn. We have a supporter of Democratic challenger Timothy O’Neill scooping up Internet addresses that could be confused as belonging to Republican Rockland County Sheriff James Kralik. Read the news article here. Now, we find out that O’Neill’s Web site gets a little ahead of itself — a list of Tim’s Supporters mentions The Journal News.
Funny, we haven’t even held endorsement hearings yet in any election contests, let alone sheriff. (I oughtta know; I schedule them.)
Here’s what O’Neill’s Web site says: THE JOURNAL-NEWS – “Tim O’Neill usually minces no words and has won praise from this newspaper, other officers and residents… views that have taken a bit of courage.”
Unfortunately for Tim, we have better than an institutional memory: We have an electronic archive! This comment comes from an editorial written in 2001 about an imbroglio that erupted after O’Neill wrote a letter to the editor critical of the Rockland district attorney.
Now, Tim doesn’t call it an endorsement comment, but it’s below other endorsements from police organizations.
The Journal News Editorial Board has not yet endorsed anyone for Rockland County Sheriff, or in any November contest. We will, though.
