Times recommends White, Bogart in sheriff's primary

August 16, 2008

Kim Bogart, 56, (his name is on the ballot as K.S. Bogart) a police consultant and a former major and captain under Pasco Sheriffs Jim Gillum and Lee Cannon, has the knowledge and professional experience to run the Sheriff's Office. He is executive director of the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission, and spent his early career in the city of Tampa Police Department.

Bogart is heavy on criticism of the incumbent, but gives short-shrift to concerns about his own role as a high-level commander in the two troubled administrations preceding White's. Saying you were out of the loop and doing what you were told isn't much of an accounting considering Gillum's misconduct and the Cannon administration's inability to decipher the department's own capabilities.

Still, Bogart's role studying other police agencies for the past seven years provides him a unique insight that his opponent cannot match.

Democrats seeking to nominate their strongest candidate for the November general election should choose Bogart in the Aug. 26 primary.
