Sheriff Candidate's Statements Under Microscope - cbs13.com

The Sheriff's race turns out to be a political mud fight.
D'Agostini trails in contribution -- Only $64,436 (Which is pretty good for a local race.)

Therkildson brought almost double that -- $112,705 (He has paid more than $2500 in consultants)

Just last week the Sheriff's Department released and "Undercover tape" of D'Agostini. It sounded like bar-room talk. But what I find very interesting is that they released this "undercover" tape, when in fact to get any evidence out of the sheriff's department--even after the case is closed is extremely rare.

Is this a case of dirty politics or was there a serious reason to expose this tape?

El Dorado County Sheriff contest

The run off election for county sheriff includes:
John D'Agostini....... He has received $43,536 in contributions in his campaign.
Craig Therkildsen..... He has received $112,705 in contributions to his campaign.
Larry Hennick....... (I appoligize.  I didn't collect the information for him.  Will get back soon)

I would welcome any information someone might have about these candidates.  The election is in 7 weeks, and our sheriff is important to our county.
