Do you believe politics are boring?  Well then you have not been following the 8 candidates running for 3 different positiions in Tioga County, Pa. , Even their supporters have lots to say this year and there was even a surprise speech given by Tioga County Commissioner Erick J. Coolidge on May 9, 2013.  (Clip 100-5616)

In this clip you can listen to Paul Watkins' as he gives a 3 minute speech in which he shares his reasons for running for the sheriff seat.  He also gives his qualifications and ideas on what he would like to bring to the county if he is elected.  

But that is not all you will here.  You will also get to catch a surprise speech from Counnty Commissioner Erick Coolidge.. Commissioner Coolidge's words were not well accepted by many, including the supporters of Paul Watkins.  It was clear that it was not the right place for the commissioner to make the statements he made.  

Listen carefully as the commissioner stands up during the question and answer period and give a speech instead.  He states some of his comments directly towards candidate Paul Watkins, who is running for the Sheriff position against the present Sheriff Tom Young.

But you decided.  This clip shows that sometimes it is best to keep quiet or you could open a can of worms that could expose some unwanted truths.

This "Meet the Candidates" meeting was open to the public and was held at the Middlebury Fire Hall.  Feel free to share,  however, do not use out of content.  Other clips will be added on some of the other candidates soon.  

Thanks to all those who made this happen and good luck to each of the candidates.  This will be an interesting Primary.  I encourage you to look into each oft he candidates and please vote!  The power of the county is in the hands of the residents who vote.
