Letter: Lattin will be a breath of fresh air as sheriff

I would like my fellow citizens of Benton County to vote for Ken Lattin for Benton County sheriff. Ken has been a lifelong resident of Benton County. I have known Ken to be a man of integrity who has always treated everyone with respect.

Ken possesses fresh ideas in regards to the mental health crisis. Ken will reduce the revolving door at the jail, where the inmates keep returning. Ken will be a rarity as sheriff — his transparency with the public and media will be a breath of fresh air to Benton County, as well as the development of crime prevention in Benton County.

I ask that everyone vote for Ken Lattin for Benton County sheriff. Thank you, Ken, for running.

Dennis L. Poland, Kennewick
