In reading a May 7 comment addressing a Lake County News article, “Sheriff clashes with tribe over resources, funding issues,” I see a participant expressing their opinion and using the name “Baxter.”

I can see where this could cause confusion on the part of some people and would like to make it clear that this individual is not Jack Baxter former candidate for sheriff nor do they speak on my behalf.

I support this persons right to publicly voice their views however I do not necessarily share their opinions and this person does not speak for me.

Jack Baxter is a former Lake County sheriff candidate. He lives in Lakeport, Calif.
