Kidd: “Sheriff Department
Needs Good Management”
By Mac Thrower
Post staff MiriUr
'Tm ashamed of our
Sheriff's Department," C.
W Kidd, candidate for
Mecklenburg County
Sheriff, declared in ex
plaining why he decided to
seek what he calls "a
thankless job.”
Kidd, in a POST inter
view, related that he had
explored the prospect of
running with some of his
friends in 1981 and found
that many of them sup
ported the idea. "I checked
around and found out just
how inefficient our Sher
iff's Department is," he
commented, “and I
dee'dH lhal thf>y nno.to.t
my help."
ine snerm s Depart
ment has needed a good
manager for 12 years,"
Kidd maintained. "Some
one is needed who can
manage, motivate, admin
istrate. and evaluate." he
stated. Referring to incum
bent Sheriff .lohrr' Ketlv
Wall's performance, Kidd
asserted that "the record
proves that the department
is not well-supervised."
Kidd said that the sheriff's
staff has increased from
108 to 160 men under Wall,
‘but "more men and more
money won’t solve the pro
blem-we've got to put the
right people in the right
jobs and give them good
supervision ”
Kidd hesitated in offering
specifics about changes he
would make in the Sheriff’s
Department, saying that
first he'd have to "evaluate
every position down there
I'll eat there and sleep
there, if necessary, to find
out why we’re having pro
C W Kidd
..Democratic candidate
blems like prisoners walk
ing out or being detained
too long."
Kidd did promise, if he's
elected, to hire a jail ad
ministrator; he also said
that he would make chang
es in existing personnel
"only if they don't cooper
ate with what I'm trying to
do.”
_ In regard to the Sheriff's
Department budget, Kidd
indicated that he would
"take a long look" at some
what he considers to be an
exorbitant food budget He.
also feels that items such
as "high-priced bluelights"
aren't needed for deputies
who serve papers and don't
engage in high speed
chases
Kidd, who has operated
businesses in Mecklenburg
for many years and has no
police experience, called
opponent Harry Stegall s
description of him "as a 58
year-old man who has
never sat in the front seat
of a police car,"an
“amazing remark": “The
Sheriff’s Department is
— like a big business hating
been a policeman has very
little to do with being a
good sheriff My op
ponents. including Stegall,
are running as ex police
men, or ex:Something --
I'm not running as an ex
anything I'm a good
businessman and admin
istrator now, and will be in
the future as well."
Brushing off Stegall's
allegation that he (Kidd is
Mayor Kddie Knox's cou
sin* is running merely to
take advantage of Knox's
political clout. Kidd said.
"I'm not running on any
-iinf's *.-uallails. but I'd like
to have the support of all
politicians if I become
sheriff "
Kidd then dismissed Ste
gall's criticisms and his »
controversial campaign
with a chuckle, comment
ing. "Harry will grow up
one of these days."
“When asked about his
attitude towards hiring
blacks for the Sheriffs
.Department..Kidd reported
that he believes in "equal
opportunity-I’ve had as
many as 75-too,black peo
ple working for me at one
-+wne-tn my businesses "
Reacting to the observ
ation that the vast
majority of eligible voters
almost certainly won’t cast
a vote for sheriff. Kidd
stated: "The sheriff's job is
very important It’s costing
us a lot of money The court
system is being‘Tiufr by “
papers not being served,
and poor people are hurt by
rent increases that result
from eviction papers not
being served.

Refunds
Doubled.
Right now, if you re getting a refund froin lJncle
Sai 11, you may be wondering what to do with it.
Frankly, we can’t think of anv wav ton iak • 111< >1 •
of it than investing in an NCNB flCA.. In fact, it’s like
getting tax refunds every year from now until you retire.
First, as you can see bvthe chart, it doesn’t take
long for your money to double, redouble and double
again with the interest an IRA pays.
Second, you pay no taxes on the interest your
IRA earns until you start withdrawing. I lien, you 11
probably be retired and in a lower tax bracket.
Finally, any money you add to your IRA each
year can be deducted from your taxes.'
For more details, stop by mid see the people at
NCNB. And find out why more people have been
opening IRA’s with us than any SUIPl
other place in the neighborlxxxl.
