Update on Sheriff Holcomb

The Huntsville Times is reporting that Marshall County Sheriff Mac Holcomb is moving his anti-gay letter off of the county site to a personal site. Holcomb issued a press release:
"This will prevent the county from having to spend money unnecessarily in defending a frivolous lawsuit and ... this action will make it clear that the views expressed are my personal views and do not represent official policy of the county or the sheriff's department," Holcomb said in the release.

Well, that's kinda the point, isn't it? That your personal views were seen as representing the county by being on the county's website. Obviously, Holcomb may or may not be the best person for the job, but that's the Marshall county residents' choice.
