Jeffrey Gahler says Sheriff L. Jesse Bane should discuss staffing levels with the public.
Jeffrey Gahler submitted a letter to local media in recent weeks criticizing comments about staffing levels made by the current sheriff. Gahler, a Republican who lost the race for Harford County sheriff by less than a 3 percent margin in 2010, contends Sheriff L.
