Bits and Pieces

We caught up with Oro Valley resident Mark Napier, who continues his quest for pima county sheriff in this month's republican primary.  Seems that  one of Mark's opponents sent out an email that referenced a piece we posted last February regarding Mark's then candidacy for Oro Valley town council. Those were different times and different positions.  Anyone who uses what we wrote last February to denigrate Mark in any way is clearly out of touch.  Mark is imminently qualified to be a great pima county sheriff.
