Sheriff says he won’t run for another term
Too much bureaucratic micromanaging, Thompson says
PRINCETON – Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson will not seek a fourth term in office in November 2014, he said, citing developing opinions about government and its methodologies that make it difficult for him to do his job.
If he can’t effect enough change as sheriff, then he should get out, the Ladd Democrat said.
Thompson first was elected sheriff in November 2002, defeating Sheriff Bill Rosenow, a Republican from Sheffield.
