Sheriff Steve Loftis graciously welcomed The Times Examiner to his office recently and spoke to us about his bid for re-election.
“Don’t call me Sheriff” was the first thing he said, and he smiled broadly, extending his hand. He walked easily down the short hall and into his office offering a chair. He most definitely was comfortable with his surroundings. As he spoke of his beginning in law enforcement in Anderson, SC, as a ‘beat-cop’ in 1974 and then his move to Greenville in ’77, he stated matter-of-factly, “I enjoy coming to work!” Working his way up through the ranks under then Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown he learned “A professional character driven system.”

- By Press Release
Editors note: Greenville and Spartanburg County Republican Party Chairmen Betty Poe and LaDonna Riggs attended the AIPAC gathering in Washington, D.C. Riggs dispatched the following report from Washington immediately following the Netanyahu speech.
While President Obama asked Israel to wait, again, for the sanctions against Iran to fully work, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a rousing speech to AIPAC (America Israel Public Affairs Committee) saying that for “15 years he had been warning the world that Iran was a dangerous country; for 10 years the international community had tried diplomacy, and for 6 years sanctions had been used, and it has not worked. Israel has patiently waited through diplomacy and sanctions, but it cannot afford to wait much longer.” Then one of the best lines of the speech: “I will never let my people live in the shadow of annihilation.”
