Read the most recent post by Mr. Freitag in the Albert Lea Tribune. Seems that he is looking for anything he can come up with to shed a negative light on Mr. Kindler. Thanks for all of your years in the service, that does need to be acknowledged. However, you have served under what is it, 3 different sheriffs? And you are still simply a patrol deputy? Have you ever been in any supervisory positions in the department? If not, why is that? Are all these sheriffs just flawed in some way? OR have these sheriffs seen that you are not capable of taking on these extra duties? IF that is the case, I'd say that shows me as a voter, more than enough to come to the conclusion that you don't have the experience to lead a sheriffs office. I also have to add, that if memory serves me right, Kindler has ran a campaign before, and all this dirty crap going on was not near as prevalent as now. The only thing new to the equation is you Mr. Freitag. It is very evident that you are extremely aggressive in nature, it shows through most all of your posts, interviews etc... In your first post on here, you stated "I've tracked many of you over the years". That statement may blow over to many people, but to me it makes a bold, arrogant, statement, that you think you are someone of some real importance. Arrogant is the best way to describe it. As Im sure you know, through your law enforcement experience, sometimes if you pay attention to what people say, and the words they use, you can gain a lot of insight into there character. My opinion of you is that you are an arrogant, inexperienced candidate. You clearly are not a team player, hence the reason you are a patrol deputy after the amount of time you have been with Freeborn County. Not that there is anything wrong with being a deputy. Just a big jump from your current position into a position with so much more responsibility and leadership involved. Instead of focusing on your strong points, and letting the people in the community know EXACTLY how you are going to improve, you have spent a lot of that time doing everything you can to discredit Mr. Kindler. The things you have pointed out, really are trivial, and come along with any position of leadership. I guess as a voter, I have no SOLID reason to vote for you. Other than the years in the military, you have no leadership experience that I can see. Mr. Kindler, although I may not agree with all of his decisions, has been there a long time, and worked his way into leadership roles. There is a reason for that. And I have to say, that just because he doesn't get involved in this whole website issue, to me, doesn't mean that he is necessarily behind it. It shouldn't be dealt with by him anyway considering the circumstances. An outside agency should deal with it. And from what I gathered that's what's happening. The personal bias should have been left out by whomever wrote it, and only facts stated. As a voter, you are in a county wide interview for a job. I want to know it all, good and bad. A good leader can admit to his faults, and learn from them. I haven't heard much out of Mr. Kindler, in the news, or online, and personally I look at this as, INTEGRITY doesn't need to be defended, it will defend itself!! I would rather see him doing his job, more than campaigning. After all he is our sheriff and he still has a job to do, it seems to me his focus is where it needs to be, and that shows character.

CC, have ever worked in a place where every so many years your boss has to be voted into his position. I can tell you it is not a fun time. You try to stay low and make a small target. It is not something that is fun to be part of. My hats off to both Kurt and Dale for making themselves a large target in there own department. I find it odd how Kidler always pleds the 5th with an issue comes up in HIS department, from Dale talking to kids or someone bashing Kurt in writtings. Hard to trust someone like that. Hard to show he is a leader when he dodges things all the time. Just a thought? ?

I'm surprised how many people have told me they had planned to vote for Kindler until that website went up and Kindler didn't seem to care.

If I was Kindler. I would stay as far away as I could from that web site. Conflict of interest here. Let an outside department deal with it. With Kindler you know what you got. With Frietag it's a major crap shoot that is not worth the gamble.

+1, the website will hurt Kindler more than Freitag.

You can always check out a few previous threads.
Here's a Kindler search.
