Wow! Finally someone who has the courage and passion to go after the criminals that are running our beautiful town into the ground! Bob Guimont is exactly the man Carson City NEEDS as Sheriff.

To me this sounds like a put on… Furlong does very well in articulating the problems. But has no way to combat the problems. Where are these plans Mr. Furlong?

I didnt see much on here that he is planning to change or make better. Its sounds like he doesnt have any real plans on how to effect the problems we have here in town.

Well Kowalski I feel your angst, but law enforcement can’t just crash a party unless they have probable cause that a crime is being commited.
